Okay, you win. I forgot about our friendly neighborhood veela. Silly 
me.

True, very true. I think that wizarding teenagers/young adults are 
deprived of a valuable experience by not having the option of higher 
education. How can they possibly learn everything they need to learn 
in just seven years? Perhaps there are internships or something that 
provide what college provides in the Muggle world: a chance to become 
a mature, responsible adult and still have the support (emotional, 
financial, practical) of one's family.

As for marriages out of Hogwarts, there does seem to be a very high 
rate. I wonder what the wizarding divorce rate is?
