Maybe you'd go off to college, but then come back when it gets hard because it's totally okay if you never amount to anything. I think this is totally okay. Every time there is a topic on college there is the debate of whether college should be job training or overall growth of individuals. This solves that problem altogether and all the way to high schools. Also, when those people enjoyed enough of their free time and want to go back and learn, they will be able to do so without pressure. We cram 12-16 years of school on kids because most of them can't afford to not to. We already see middle class and wealthy children taking gap years to explore life, this just let everyone do that. > I would probably just spend my life on the internet and playing games while feeling guilty. Do you spend all your time on the internet and play games after work? If you don't, why would you when you don't have to work? > Others would escape through drugs. I'd say more people escape through drugs due to pressure in life than the lack of pressure.
