[HPforGrownups] a thought about career's advice

If we look at Hogwarts and compare it to a regular school system, at least
the one in the US that I'm familiar with, career counseling didn't come
until one's junior year of high school.  So, even though we had electives we
could take when starting HS or in the middle of HS, the career thing and
college thing didn't start to rear its ugly head until junior year.  So, not
seeing career advice until Harry's fifth year doesn't seem at all unusual.

And, just as in regular school, there are going to be very studious students
that take all the classes they can for whatever reasons, possibly with
future careers in mind, and others who don't cross that bridge until they're
faced with it.

Like I say, getting career pamphlets in Hogwarts fifth year doesn't seem at
all unusual.  Again, it wasn't until the next to the last year of high
school that we started to meet with a career counselor, be notified of job
fair type things, FIGURE OUT WHAT COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY WE WANTED TO GO TO (FOR
THOSE SO INTERESTED), etc.

Cheers,

Lee (Who should get out of rambling mode.) :-)
