Writer Paul Graham explains in his article "Role of a Student" the role of a high school student.
It says in Paul Graham's article about the role of a student that "back in the day, kids would simply choose their line of work". High school students nowadays are often pressured into deciding what they will do for the rest of their lives at such a young age. This could be the reason for such bad economical times, because if people make the wrong decision when they're seventeen they will be suffering the consequences when they're fifty.
According to Paul, "If I were back in high school and someone asked about my plans, I'd say that my first priority was to learn what the options were." Paul says this to show that often times, high school students are completely sure how they want to spend the rest of their lives. People even say that the decision part of your brain doesn't completely develop until you're twenty-two.
Writer Paul goes on to say, "It might seem that nothing would be easier than deciding what you like, but it turns out to be hard, partly because it's hard to get an accurate picture of most jobs." Deciding what you like and how you want to spend the rest of your life shouldn't be too hard. At the end of the day you're the only one who knows how you want to spend your life.
Should a peers n really have to decide the outcome of their life in high school? It seems odd, but people have been doing it successfully for years.
For our own sake, us high schoolers should take the time to carefully look over all our future options.
