This makes me uneasy from my own perspective, someone who changed majors in college, well older than 16.
What keeps me grounded and open minded to the approach is that my wife knew what she wanted to do from 6th grade on and while she grows and changes in that career, she is where she wanted to be.
Maybe people know what they want at 16, but I think the purpose of taking just another history class and opening themselves up to many things they didn't know about is important and keeps your skills versitile rather than atrophying all but one muscle.
- Vendan 12y agoI knew what I wanted to do when I was 8. I'm 27 now, and I've got a solid career ahead of me, doing what I wanted to do when I was 8. Couldn't be happier.
