Right, internationally there are a lot of places where high school age is career prep, which makes a ton of sense. This is the age at which people were considered to be becoming adults, and the mind craves exploring autonomy and personal engagement.
It's ridiculous that people are shielded from adulthood until they're in their 20s. 21 years old is when a person should be reasonably expected to know how to be an adult, not the age at which a protected child gets their first glimmers of adulthood, but has full responsibility along with their naivety. 16-21 is when they need to practice being adults.
