Optimism about future job pursuits declines over time, but the decline is steeper for girls than boys. Two-thirds (67%) of boys in grade 5 strongly agree that they will find a good job when they graduate, compared with half of boys in the 12th grade -- a difference of 17 percentage points.

My high school had a resume-building course and other classes on career- building. I think adding more classes like these will increase job outlooks
