Thanks for sharing this, Deirdre. Really insightful piece, and nice reminder that education is about more than slotting teenagers into predetermined job roles - it’s about expanding their opportunities. I’m many years out of high school and post-secondary and I still haven’t figured out what I want to be when I grow up.

Many thanks, Dave. I actually shuddered to think of the possibility they could have tried to push me into trades — I hardly wanted to be there as it was and that would have probably forced me out completely.
