Lower-end service work in large, expensive cities.

You aren't treated with dignity by the customers, by your boss, or by the size of your paychecks.

And where in Job Corps does it train you for lower-end service work in large, expensive cities? Most of the people going to Job Corps are not from large, expensive cities, and none of their centers are in large, expensive cities. The work they're training for is skilled blue collar work, all of which pays relatively decently and is not "low-end service work".

I was responding in a larger scope of jobs than what are offered in the JC program. I can't find much to grouse about its curriculum.

I will say that it's a damn shame that it's not available for someone like a 40-year old who wants to get their life on track.

Yeah, it’s not just expensive cities. They don’t pay well in rural communities either.
