According to EdWeek.org, they have found that Teens feel ready for college, but no so much for work.
Here is the LiveUp response to this question:
We know that 30% of STUDENTS graduate high school and college without a plan to be an INDEPENDENT adult and LIVE at home with parents LONGER. We agree that teens feel comfortable continuing their education because they have been in school by this time 12 years and going to college for another 4 years doesn't seem like a big thing. But we know that education and real-world job skills are not the same. Unfortunately, today's school system is out of date and it does not address the real soft and hard skills people need in order to do a job of any sort. At LiveUp we look to professionally train Teens and anyone who wants to start developing their professional skill set. Comment below on what you think about this question.
