But I'd say that even applies earlier on, starting in middle school. I distinctly remember being "sold" various career paths that were deemed noble but without the caveat of dim economical outcomes. Fortunately for me, I already knew I wanted to be a software developer and I stuck to my choice despite there not being much support from an academic side, at least not until much later. I knew back then that this is what I liked AND that this led to comfortable wages. Money is not everything in life. BUT economy realities need to be disclosed to young students.
