Where there’s a will, there’s a way

I read in USA Today yesterday that in Florida children must declare a "life major" before entering high school, thanks to a new law recently signed by Jeb Bush.¹ What a phenomenal load of crap. Kids don't have enough life experience to be making decisions like that at such a young age. Most people don't even know what they want to do when entering college. Some few know what they want to do from childhood, but they are the exception, not the rule.

Who knows what that is supposed to achieve. I'm sure it's grounded in some conservation notion about idle hands being the devil's workshop and kids need to be responsible, contributing members of society or some such nonsense.
