Why do we as a society encourage teens to go to college right away after high school?

I didn’t know what the hell I wanted to do. But taking time off or delaying college makes you seem like you’re lazy or something. I just wanted to figure out what I like. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Parents are worried if you don't go to school right away you will just bum around your whole life. Nobody want's a 37 year old kid still living at home and working at Burger King!
The first two years are usually Generals, and you can figure out your major during those years.
