I don't know if this is sarcasm or not but:

You could make it work if this "everyone forms an LLC in school" initiative comes with "everyone gets a chunk of cash to invest into this business". I assume the time would come from restructuring curriculums so that half of your senior year is spent on this project. Maybe add another year onto high school instead that is the Business Year.

This would also require a massive increase in the amount of money going into schools so it's pretty much a non-starter in the US.

As to "optimizing for the 90%", I feel like there's probably a lot of interesting differences in a world where every high school graduate has been in a boss' shoes. Possibly bosses would be able to get away with a lot less shady shit. This probably doesn't help the chances of setting it up either.

I would legit support a law that gives every 18 years old 50k to decide what to do in their life. And to adjust it with life.

As a society we would be making a better long term investment in the economy.

And give them good education, but most importantly examples we can.

You haven’t lived very long have you. Because this belays a fundamental misunderstanding of how most people work.
