In the US, I think it would be great to have them do a service type job, and to keep a camera on them. Keep their government pay, but this will document what a real person they are, or are not.

Personally when I vote use the 'what job did you do' as a major criteria. Bottom to top: Politician (never a real job), Lawyer / lobbyist (practiced liar), Government employee or student or never worked (never facing market economy impacts), college professor, ex con - then a big gap - Used car salesman (hard working but a bad reputation), other sales

Top for someone I vote for is Farmer, then any hourly worker that does a job I would not want to do, or physically cannot.
