I screwed up when I graduated high school, because I took two years off not knowing what I wanted to do. I finally settled on going to school for business, realized it wasn't for me but kept going, and then graduated and went to work. I had, and still have, a career goal in mind (not business related), but I don't know if it's attainable. If it ends up not working out, I will essentially have wasted about 12 years of going to school/working. You can say school is never a waste, but I think sometimes it is. Whatever. Anyways, I think kids in high school need to be taught how to plan their future better. Maybe I am in the minority, I don't know, but I graduated directionless and I don't think that's good.
