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. 🤷🏼‍♀️

The education system could be equated to a conveyor belt. If you stop to get off it, then you’re outside of the mass production. It’s the better choice honestly, rather than doing something and discovering you hate it later, and only did it because of other reasons.
