Silly idea. Not required when I went to High School (1970s) but I did have a idea about what I wanted to do and choose classes towards that career. I wanted to work in printing. I took print shop and a advanced classes at a vocational school.
What did I do? After I left high school I joined the Air Force expected to work in offset lithography.
What actually happened was that I was sucked into intelligence work, liked it, and 95% of the stuff I learned in those specialized classes was wasted PLUS I didn’t learn general stuff that would have been very useful (such as more advanced math, a 2nd language, world history and so on).
We don’t let 16 year olds vote or buy beer. But letting them pick a CARREER is a good idea?
It’s not that picking a bad major in high school will ruin your life, it just doesn’t help you as much as more general classes would.
