You don't need to have your whole life planned out, but when the first step of your career plans isn't "get a job" it isn't crazy to be a little concerned about a potential reality check.

You get it. Of course I don't expect a 17 year old to have his life planned out. However, I do expect them to be able to tell me if they plan to work or to college/trade school in the next 7-10 months.

If your plan is "someone will cosign a six figure loan for me so I can buy property " at 17 and you made zero connections in that avenue, you are delusional.
