I generally put it to designers of education systems : the survey of "what jobs exists, how much they are paid, and what is needed to access them" should be available to all 14-year-olds. It's the best time to start planning.
And the incumbent nature of the political economy is that, the absence of such survey data for 14-yos, is how we manage to keep people in lanes for the rest of their lives. :)
The 14-yos who know that the fresh grad pay range in KL is 1.5-20k MYR/mo are not doing what the 14-yos who think it's 1.5-5k are doing. And the expectation diverges for say a 30+yo where some make 1.5k, and some make 400k!
So the strategy of picking education paths depends on education goals, and the goals depend on ... some sort of preliminary life planning survey which is generally unavailable to the masses.
