A point in my life.... (tl/dr)

Why would a government insist on the youth choosing their future at such a young age. That makes me depressed. Not only that but it would almost increase unemployment if the youth's perspective changed in a decade, I don't know, I think that's a horrible call on their behalf.

I totally agree with you on that. You had three different levels that you could take depending on your academic skill. The occupational was a two year course to get you ready for everyday life like balancing a check book etc. The general was for the middle group and the advanced was for the smarter people. So you had to decide what you wanted to be to make sure you got into the right level.

In grade 8 I was more worried about getting older so I could get my licence etc. I had no clue at what I wanted to be and never really settled on a career path. I graduated grade 12 and that was as far as I went. Later I decided that I should have become I vet but I only took two years of science so I was screwed unless I went back.
