Hi Roger...let me tell you about my last week of high school, year six in Scotland.During that week was the FIRST time we had a career adviser...the LAST week of the year! The LAST week of our schooling.
Would things have worked out better had we had some of these talks? I can only surmise the answer to be yes.
I have lost touch with my year group, having spent most of my years in the antipodes. I know one male who became a lawyer, two teachers, plus me, but I suspect, as wit most things, fortune may have favored others. Who knows?
