Hmm. In the Middle Ages, when you were born, you knew what you were going to spend the rest of your life doing, because it's what your dad/mom did. Lives were a lot less complicated then, so I somewhat reject that comparison as valid.
About half of the people I mention this to align with your viewpoint, by the way. But in my opinion the internet has changed things to an extent that no technology before ever has. Think about it -- what technology has ever existed that was more or less the exclusive domain of the children? Cars? No. Radio? No. TV? No.
Just something to consider.
