when i was in high school, some schmuck predicted a shortage of guidance counselors. so everybody going into career counselign was counselled into being (you guessed it) a guidance counselor.
so the next thing you know, there’s a glut of guidance counselors, adn those people who let the school decide what they should be found themselves in trouble. too much competition for too few jobs...
raised in pretty much the same environment, so here’s the deal, teach your kids to research options carefully, teach them to look carefully into the future. My kids know this becuase I preach it daily. Also, never trust the government! My kids know this too, LOL!
