>>897 That's a great view but is not familiar for Japanese. Most of them think they have to go to study even if they don't know what they wanna do.
I asked my friend what he would do after high, and he said he would go to university. "What do you wanna do there?" I asked. He went "I don't know so far." I know he is not very smart and capable to go to public school so that his family would have to pay a big bill for nothing possibly to be. Maybe he is the one who should come out abroad where he is gonna enjoy his "life" and hopefully find the meaning of his life.
Anyway, actually I visited a secondary school when they had a class about post secondary. There were some teachers from the college near here. One said like what are possible ways you can take after graduating school? And after some like keeping up for education, that teacher said he had been traveling for a year after high school, and it was a great experience which lead him to be a teacher.
