Just wanted to add that at a parent education session, an HR recruiter from a huge local company said the same thing that @SJ2727 said…it was a different angle (the reason being that things change so fast these days with technology), but the point is that they are looking for soft skills (critical thinking, communication, independence, ability to work in a team), NOT technical or subject based knowledge in their new hires.
Also, a very well known child/teen psychologist expert whose name is unfortunatley escaping me does this at her parent panels across the country: She asks the parents to raise their hand if they ended up doing for their career what they thought they would be doing when they started college. In a huge auditorium it’s like 1% of attendees. The process and path of college admissions tends to build this ideal that everyone chooses their path right away, follows it and is on a straight line to their career, but that’s not the reality, at all, even for people your parents’ age and especially for your age.
