I have no memory of what mine said… But yeah, in my experience people who start out one one path and switch on to a totally different one often seem like more interesting and well rounded and happy people. I imagine guidance counselling would often be nearly impossible. At least in the sense of suggesting a career path - I guess just answering questions could still be really useful.
I just wanted them to place me better classes. They were convinced I would be happier, or more likely, their job easier, if I was placed in all remedial classes. This is despite testing advanced proficient for science and average for math and despite my grade school recommending me for advance placement for science.
I was never interested in talking to them about career paths or any of the other “American Dream” lies. I wanted to do something good for the world with my years in college. They fucking hate that.
Wow, that sounds like some bullshit. I’m in Aus, and though I said I can’t remember it, I feel like it wasn’t that completely useless here. Or maybe it was for some.
Maybe that’s because “the Australian Dream” (if it exists), is going to the beach and drinking beer 😆
