What is a kid straight out of hs going to do in the "real world"?
Other than continue to live at home to still have his mom do his laundry
Volunteer, join AmeriCorps, do an internship, there are tons of programs out there that cost little to nothing.

Reasonable suggestions, in my eyes, would involve the kid moving out and learning to live on his own, even if that meant some help.
I know a few people who graduated college who didn't know how to pay rent, a phone bill, or what renters insurance is.
In order to make the gap year valuable, the kid needs to actually pick up a skill that will help him in life.
I think enlisting is appropriate, provided an exit strategy is in place

Or even better pick up a trade in high school. How many kids would be working instead of blowing endless money on future debt for a degree they will never use?
