That's because careers guidence in schools has become non exsistant. When I started at secondary school there were two careers advisors based at the school who would regularly speak to year 10/11s about what they were doing upon leaving school. They would arrange day visits to local colleges, apprenteship or work placements with day release to college etc.
By the time I got to year 11 in 1999 the careers advisors had gone completly. We were given a couple of prospectuses for local colleagues and it was basically a 'arrange it yourself' hence why so many kids leave school and don't have a clue or idea where to turn next.
