>>226669I always wondered this too. Why they limit certain support programs and opportunities so heavily.
It feels like it's a bit too easy to fall between the cracks.
If you aren't an absolute menace, or hit rock bottom, but in a SPECIFIC way then you are out of luck.
The normie path of going to college or secondary education, getting a trade etc. is also set up in my country for either the young, or the absolutely f'd.
Like, you can only do most if not all of it during the day, in normal "school hours" 8-14 so if you have a job you can't better yourself.
You are stuck being a low skill serf.
If you are some kind of specially screwed person, a criminal or an addict there are rehabilitation programs available that aren't open to anybody else.
So you either have your life on rail or get derailed hard so you can be blessed with an opportunity.
If you are just some middle of the road you are left to rot I guess.
All in all, I can understand why most resources go to making something of a fresh youth instead of a 30 year old that has a track record of being a loser.
But then the contrast of supporting literal criminals is painful.
