No. But here's the rub, who the heck is going to give it? The teachers? Get real, they don't have a clue about the corporate world. Well some do, but those are the ones that started in the corporate world.
The only one a student can get this from is their parents. But then, here's another rub, what's a kid to do whose mom or dad is a job hopper or has no clue? Or is a tradesperson who only knows about their trade? This is one of the reasons why kids whose parents do well, tend to do well.
Parents who have a clue as to how the corporate world works, with what fields are good careers, are best at guiding their children to better negotiate the world outside of school.

No, I do not think there is enough guidance for graduating high school seniors. There should resources available there for the senior to use and the school will have a career day (or something of the sort), but school faculty are less likely to reach out to the individual student.

No, i do no longer imagine there is adequate practise for graduating intense college seniors. There could elements accessible there for the senior to apply and the college may have a career day (or some thing of the style), yet college school are a lot less likely to achieve out to the guy pupil.

No, they don't, but there is a problem. The world is changing so quickly, and technology is creating so many jobs that never existed before, that the guidance counsellors and teachers in a school have likely never heard of most of them, and thus couldn't counsel the students effectively. Not through lack of will, but through lack of up to date knowledge.

my honest opinion is "no" . . at my school, guidance counselors only meet with kids once a year and that's to set up their schedules for the next year . . they have no idea what the students are interested in and thus don't know how to help them . . .

No, but the best advice I received from them was to go to college...that is where you begin working toward your career goals as well as receiving a liberal arts education. They helped me and my friends to get scholarships, as well.
I'd like to see career information begin in elementary school and throughout thereafter.
