Did you know when you were at school what job you wanted to do when you left?
My next guest says we need to move away from that, because in this era of fast-moving technological change it's hard for anyone to know exactly where the job market's going to go - let alone kids.
Jane Kennelly is Director of People for Skills Group, which works with businesses, industry bodies and government agencies on how to build or upskill their workforce.
It also works with school guidance counsellors. Jane says locking kids into a job title at 16 or 17 just piles on the pressure.
Instead, parents and teachers should help guide teens into subjects they enjoy - which they can build a good foundation on for further skills and study.
