It's crazy to expect an 18-22 year old to know the market fit for their major when they've never had a job anywhere near that field. I researched my choice of major using the Bureau of Labor Statistics' data before I graduated high school, but I'm pretty sure I was the only one of my peers that did that.

- albrewer 5y agoI agree, but (at least circa late '00's when I was in high school) career prep consisted of taking a few career aptitude tests. Oh, and the military's ASVAB. Those of us that scored in the 95th percentile and above were singled out by the recruiters and all 40 of us got a 15 minute sales pitch to join the military. They never got any engineers, programmers, doctors, construction managers, tile setters, welders, insurance adjusters, lawyers, police officers, nurses, radiologists, tugboat captains, pipefitters, machinists, draftsmen, etc...
