4 years is super long especially when the first 2 are basically worthless, colleges earn the most money on the first 2 years because it take less resources and are incentivized to get people to drop out within that time frame. plus most people had professions by the time they were 14 before the school system became normal, its actually humiliating and frustrating to not have any real skillset other than filling out worksheets by the time you're 21 plus with the cost being so high, the years feel much worse

  not every job was dangerous, child labor in mines showed up in the industrial revolution prior to that children were taught things that genuinely didn't put their life in danger, because they needed to contribute to their family or community's survival
