Well that is the point, isn't it? Because we sit around and wait till kids finish high school and then allow them to decide what they want to do, many of them make poor decisions.
In Europe, kids are already on career paths when they turn 15.
North American kids have been brainwashed by the elite that college & university with that humanities degree is the way to get a job when it is clearly a load of crap.
Like I said, there is a massive attitude problem among our teachers and guidance councilors. Even in small town Alberta we were told 'university is a must', or 'you will never amount to anything if you don't do post secondary.' Most successful kids in my class are in the trades.
