In essence, a centre where children are informed (perhaps in an informal manner) which of their dreams constitute viable future prospects, and which of them are impractical and/or unachievable.
What?! In fairness, I'm not entirely in favour of this idea...
An alternative would maybe be a database where you input what you want to achieve (say a qualification or occupation), along with what skills you have and what measures you've taken to achieve your goal so far (work experience, not murdering people etc), along with other relevent miscellania (age, agility, whatever). Said database would subsequently calculate the viability of your future plans.
Of course, you shouldn't let a terrifying career website bully you into believing what you can and can't do with your life, and you can only quantify skill through qualifications so far. Another drawback would be how succeptible the system would be to glory-scroungers (i.e. the kind of folk who think hooting about their current tally of Facebook friends constitutes vital stuff, or that a comparatively low cost talk-plan is a war worth winning) who permeate pretty much all walks of life. But I suppose everyone's entitled to their dreams, and if being able to do more sit ups underwater than me is your dream...
