As I may have mentioned before I'm currently (though not for long) working as a student counselor for foundation year students, this also includes a little bit of careers counseling as well.
I fully understand that it's very difficult for people who have only gone through 10 to 12 years of education, with ages ranging from 15-19, to decide on which university course to do, most of the students are not even certain or even care about what sort of career they want to go into.
I like to think that students today are more exposed to information about the different jobs available to them and have some idea of what the job involves more than I was then, so when I hear "I want to do software engineering because I like video games" unless they can tell me what aspect of video games they like or would like to work on I get a little upset.
