Knowing what you want to change is the most important step, which is demonstrated by Jerry, who just wants to fit in and act like he wants to change without really knowing what to change.

Well, we've had hollywood messing with our heads for better than half a century.

Most people that dream of being a hollywood star, really just want people to notice them.
Further, what should be part of highschool... maybe all of highschool. Forget the calculus; have batteries of aptitude tests coupled with people actually talking about what they do in their field. Because, what we have right now is that we have a mockery of what any field does, based off of hollywood.
Cops don't go bust the bad guys and save the day. Cops write tickets for speeding, and bust punks for drug possession. Until you are known to not rat out your fellow cop, then you move into drug distribution.
