many will obviously game this setup, but some will get a hint: "gee, going to school is a lot better than picking litter on the side of the highway, I'll do that instead"...

I'm sure there is some way to create a happy medium with this and, as you say, there are always people who will find some way to game the system. To me, in a perfect world, the number one priority we should have when people go on welfare is helping them get off of it, whatever that may entail.
