What is a potential consequence of inadequate career guidance in schools?

Inadequate career guidance in schools can lead to misinformed career choices for several reasons. When students receive insufficient support in exploring their interests, strengths, and the realities of various career paths, they may base their decisions on limited or skewed information. This lack of guidance may result in students selecting careers that do not align with their true abilities or aspirations, potentially leading to dissatisfaction and career changes later in life.

In contrast, effective career guidance helps students make informed decisions, aligning their personal goals with appropriate career options. By providing comprehensive information about different fields, job market trends, and the skills required for various roles, schools can help students to make choices that are both realistic and fulfilling, ultimately supporting their long-term career satisfaction and success.
