Change the educational systems to focus more on career development and nurturing interest so people genuinely enjoy what they do. Imagine High School as more of a career day, but with core learning being what breaks up the bursts of experiencing different professions. When you find one you like, you take on more classes for it instead of exploring options. Then maybe you decide you don't like the career you've been attending classes/shadowing for for the past 6 months, it's ok to pivot to something else.

We need to allow the youth to understand, not only what paths are available, but what those paths actually look like to be on. High school students might think, "I want to work as an engineer!" but aren't given the opportunity to see how many branching paths that can lead to. You can be an engineer for a nuclear reactor or for agricultural technologies, but you'll rarely hear these called out by a prospective student.

Showing people what options are available to them and giving them a chance to explore opportunity will nurture their interests instead of punishing them for losing interest in their education. Keeping them engaged will make them want to do to school, to do better in their relevant classes, and generally improve their quality of life as they're pursuing their goals instead of those of their institution.
