Speaking just for myself here, I think tracking career outcomes for SHIC students is important, but Canadian high schoolers in affluent areas are typically 4-7 years away from being able to start a career, so this may take awhile to track well. I also don’t expect high schoolers to have meaningful and stable views on their career since it would be so early in their life.
Right, when I wrote “career plan changes” I mostly meant that they end up studying a subject different from their previous best guess (if they had one) at least partly for EA reasons. (Or at a different university, e.g. a top school.)
I really don’t think doing your undergrad at a “top school” is as important in Canada as it is in the US or UK, and I’m not sure it’s worth the money for a Canadian undergrad to study out of the country.
