Let them dip their toes into working life as a teen... Low hours occasional work or whatever, but they're likely to be spending the next 50 years+ of their lives working, let them enjoy having no responsibilities whilst it lasts.
100% agree!
I started to get worried about what my kids are going to do, as they don't appear to be interested in anything. But like you say, working life is long, and people do change their views on what they would like to do for a living.
We are obsessed in this country with passing exams, and cramming young people into further education.
