Some do have enough of a clue to have noticed that
no one they know adult wise uses any of what is taught
in the last couple of years of high school, particularly
with those I listed, or has an adult point that out to them.

I graduated high school at 16 and didn't have a clue what i wanted to
do.

Yes, but plenty of others do know that they do
want to do various things like be a mechanic,
plumber, electrician, build houses etc too.

I may have been better off had i worked a few years but that wasn't in
the plan; off to college you go. Four more years and I still was pretty
clueless.

Someone else in another group was monstered into
starting college and then decided that is wasnt for
him and is one of best electricians around and very
reliable worker who can do anything required.

We agree on something. College is over rated if you want the trades and
are good at it.

The college time wasnt in trades. And what he is good at
is doing what needs to be done, even if that involves doing
stuff he has no experience in at all. Its a mindset thing.

The dropouts I see do NOT know what they want to do but just want a job
and don't stick with it. They have no skills and are too lazy to get
some.
