There would be more emphasis on volunteering, job shadowing, and exploring the actual work world.

Yes!!! We study so many things at school that are barely used in real life

@Alex1610: All turn out yo be useful in one way or another, but I don't feel it prepares you for actually choosing a career. So many people go to college for something they realize they hate as soon as they start interning, shadowing, etc. It's a shame.

@cherryxblossom: I guess the world is teaching us in a wrong way

@Alex1610: i agree. we do learn so many useless things.

@cherryxblossom: and that's true. That has happened so much. Many people go into majors not expecting it to be the way it is and waste so much time preparing for something they soon find out they don't want to do. Internships help a bit with that but they can be difficult to get.
