Getting kids to think about their future career is a good thing. This may not be the way to do it though.

Kids going into college without a major or those that switch majors lose a bit of time and momentum. Kids that graduate and do something other than their major also may have missed some opportunities.

And of course those destined for non-college careers could specialize in learning a trade and perhaps instead of collegeprep they could have tradeschool prep courses.
