Do people in the US do "work experience"? In the UK it is something <16 year old kids do where you spend a week working a job and is organised by schools. From what I understand, the placements are almost random, and pretty much tend to all be something pretty tedious. E.g. a postman, working in a bakery, some random office admin/assistant crap, a cinema usher, collecting trolleys/carts at supermarket/grocery stores etc. I think those were pretty educational in terms of what shit jobs are like. I am not sure if they are deliberately shit jobs to try and get you to concentrate on studies etc. But they do at least give you a baseline for how depressing and brain-dead many jobs can be
