Teenagers should think realistically about life and work after college before they actually go to college - if preparing for a career is one of their main goals.
"While 87% of recent [U.S. college] graduates feel well prepared to hit the ground running in their new job, only half of hiring managers agreed." Somehow they're not getting what is needed if they want to "hit the ground running."
The skills hiring managers are most likely to consider absent or deficient directly following graduation is called "The Skills Gap."
This writer from the U.K. (where half of recent college graduates have non-graduate roles) has a very practical suggestion: charge a lower price for university and college courses that educate for skills in high demand.
"We should be incentivising our students to opt for courses that will keep talent pipelines well stocked."
NOTE-- Skills that employers will pay extra for are here
(cont'd tomorrow)
