I 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...
