Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Extended education in high school and college provides a period of exploration and experimentation without the full responsibilities and commitments of adulthood. This time allows for adolescents to form their identity and develop their beliefs and values before making long-term decisions about career and family. Working while in school or dropping out to work may not provide the same opportunities for exploration and experimentation that are important for psychological development. Taking over the family business also may not allow for the same level of personal exploration and development.
