I hated my Careers Advisor in high school...

High school does not teach you to excel or be intelligent, much less prepare you for the real world. It teaches you to remember things for a test and indoctrinates you to obey and do as you're told.

I don't think my school had a Career Advisor unless he or she skipped me. I sure didn't know what I wanted to do. Even at 31 I still don't know

Honestly what do they even know. In my opinion, the school system doesn't really work well. They only teach things that have already been taught. Most of their mindsets are just like that too, outdated and not based on current realities. They see you in a certain light and from that moment, they form an opinion about you that they will rarely ever change over the years to come. I almost only have bad experiences with teachers and advisors so I stopped listening and just did my own thing.

You had a Careers Advisor?

In January 1968, the student advisor called me into her office and asked why I hadn't applied to any universities. I told her i was going to California to play in a rock band. She told me i would get drafted and go to Vietnam. I decided to go to college.

I do sometimes wonder the need for a "careers advisor" anyway, if only because they are unlikely to know enough about every possible area of work beyond the sort of school and adult-education academic qualifications usually needed.

She was presenting you the stage to politely dismiss their opinion and simply proceed forward with what you want to do.
Forget about her 100,000%.

Mine told me my handshake wasn't "firm" enough 🤨 like...I'm sorry I have sub par hand strength!

she should have been one of those dunk tank clowns if she was going to be that way

She was exceedingly shitty at her 'job'.

What were your three dream jobs?
