And if pizza delivery doesn't pay, one can always become a software developer. Lots of people do that job while still in high school.

  Yep, definitely. I called it out as an option because of firsthand experience and because 90+% of HS grads are definitely qualified.

    > 90+% of HS grads are definitely qualified. Oh? While ~90% of the adult population in the US have a driver's license (data is lacking for the high school grad subset, but likely similar), I doubt a significant number of high school grads on the older end of the spectrum are any longer qualified to work 60+ hour weeks. ~25% of the adult population are elderly (again, likely similar for HS grads). In fairness, I expect you are meaning recent grads. The kids today, however, have really backed away from driving. Only 60% of those 18 years of age in the US have a driver's license. Without that, you are definitely not qualified. 90+% among recent HS grads appears impossible. I concede you may have been envisioning them delivering pizza on a bicycle. But "driver" in this context usually refers to operation of licensed motor vehicles.
