I suspect that it's a lot less about any specific skills and more about earning money, showing up for work even when you don't want to, etc. I suspect that if those same teenagers worked on a farm part-time (or perhaps even played organized sports) instead, they'd also do better than their counterparts who didn't.

Very true and exactly my point! Maybe “showing up” by logging in to Facebook to socially influence others and increase your employer’s followers is just as effective at giving young people life skills as flipping burgers was back in the day. Let’s not constrain ourselves to burger flipping because that was a thing once upon a time.
