"The Corps would be trained in modern handheld technologies that provide facile, crisp communication and organization skills that arrest geometric spread. In addition, Corps members could become apprentices for jobs in key parts of the supply chain we now deem essential (delivery, warehouse workers, etc.). We send young people to the front lines of wars not because they are immune from bullets, but because they are willing, see enlisting as an opportunity, and want to serve something bigger than themselves."
It sounds like a far better idea to sanction a "Gap Year" after students graduate high school than it does to send them off to crowded lecture halls and drown them in student loan debt. After 18-22 months in the Corona Corps they might want to go to college, trade school, or simply take online courses. All are good options but the important thing is the experience they will have earned which gives them a more informed basis to make a decision.
