To be fair, the career advice my kids got in the early 2000s was no better.
Everyone should aim for University was the mantra.
No 1 daughter did, got a 2.1 Hons in Psychology and it had a positive impact on her career.
No 1 Son dropped out after 1 term, got a job with HPI doing IT support, has never looked back. A couple of changes and is now a Licensed GDPR Practitioner.
Careers advice? it is rare to find a school that has a clue.
University was worse...
