Wow. Good call. I had zero clue what I wanted to be when I grew up. Sure as hell didn't know whenever I finally left school. It took time, effort, and a lot of self-discovery before I ended up where I did. Holding children accountable for such life decisions at such an early age is untenable. It wasn't until I was about 35 before I finally hit on what I'm good at and what makes me comfortable. And we're asking children to do the same? It's crazy.

It definitely is crazy. Ever see the show Daria? She sums up my feelings pretty well
