This is marketing for a company called randr, a job search service, but it is well done, and makes a good point. The good point is this: " Students are expected to make decisions impacting the rest of their lives at age 18, despite the fact that they have had very little exposure to the abundance of options." This has a range of undesirable impacts. It means they aspire toward unrealistic careers, like pro athelete, or movie star. It results in gender imbalance in career aspirations. The recommendation makes sense: "Expose students to a wider variety of careers earlier in life to better inform their major in college and be prepared to enter the working world."
