Many people, if not the majority, don't know what they want to do for a profession until late into their first or second years at college. Nevermind expecting high school students to know what they want to do. It'd be immature for a high school to not enforce a diverse curriculum. If not just to expose students to different subjects.
That said, most high schools offer enough electives and keep the graduation requirements broad enough for there to be wiggle room. At least every high school I've ever encountered did.
I agree with this, although it would be nice to have more power over what classes you have in high school.
