The transition from high school to college is way too fast
16 and 17 are way too young to figure out what you want to do with your life.
Many high school juniors and seniors are expected to start making serious decisions about college, majors, and careers when they're still teenagers. By senior year, someone can be only a few months away from graduating and starting college while still having very little idea what they actually want.
Being close to graduating doesn't suddenly make someone more mature or make them understand themselves better. A 16 or 17-year-old can have completely different interests and priorities a few years later.
It also seems strange how often not knowing what you want at that age is treated as a problem. Someone can be good at school and still have no idea what they want to study or what kind of career they want.
There is a huge difference between being old enough to start college and being old enough to know what you want to do with your life. Those two things shouldn't be treated as the same thing.
The transition from high school to college happens so quickly that students are expected to make major decisions before they've really had much time to figure themselves out. Starting college a few months after graduating high school doesn't mean someone is suddenly ready to know what they want for the future.
