Does anybody know why graduating teenagers dont know what they will be doing in five years?

I need 3 good reasons. Can anybody help me?Does anybody know why graduating teenagers dont know what they will be doing in five years?
Most teens today don't have a firm foundation, and are still too immature to know what they want in life





College is harder to get into, and many people are taking more than 4 years to get a degree





They don't have a crystal ballDoes anybody know why graduating teenagers dont know what they will be doing in five years?
Teens are indecisive, they change their minds all the time.


They account for failure or other set backs so even if they have a pretty clear plan they are still aware it might not go right.


They just don't know what makes them the most happy, when your 5 you want to be a firefighter, when your 16 you want to be a chef, when your 20 you want to be a lawyer but all the time you think ';well maybe I should be a firefighter';. Being in law school may make you satisfied but maybe being a firefighter will make you feel accomplished and happy at the end of the day.
Because college and entry job work is not what they expect out of life. They want to be able to start at 80K with No Experience because that is what they want and they always have gotten what they want. No conception of real world anything.


Kids need to be much more involved in the decisions about their lives, most float through HS and then let Mom and Dad figure out what would be the easiest highest paying job they can go after. Then they go to busines school and get an MBA and get ejected into real world and still--true story coming --expect Mom and Dad to smooth the path.





Graduating with MBA and calls Mom and Dad to ';talk to Mr. ____ because I interviewed and he wouldn' t give me a job. So Mom does call Mr Blank and reams him out for not hiring her 22 year old son who has done nothing useful except summer employment in service jobs since he was 16 .


Needless to say kid did not get the job and worked another summer -living at home-doing service job.
1. They don't have their life planned out or don't see the need to.


2. They think that anything can happen so they just keep their mind open


3. Their just too lazy .
- They've been given so much by their parents who didnt expect anything in return


-No job beforehand


-lack of wanting to do anything.





I already know what I want to do--go to nursing school.
Some just dunno.





But I'm 1 year from graduating, and I know exactly what I'm gonna do for a living.
Becuase they are only 18. Most 18 year olds don't know what they will be doing in 5 years. I know I didn't.
because the economy stinks thats why
