I like the sentiment, but I wish there were more of a suggestion of what a self-discovery system would look like.

I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to try a lot of different things and a lot of different jobs and eventually finding something that "clicked", but I don't see my path working particularly well at scale.

Sounds like USSR's education system. A high school would require 8-9 classes every semester, and you don't really have a choice about which classes to take. You have to take physics, literature (world and local), chemistry, "russian" (similar to composition/creative writings in US schools), math, art, and so on.

There was a lot of complaining about the classes -- most people don't enjoy knowing both properties of organic acids and major themes in Fet's poems at the same time. And many people would feel some classes are mostly a waste of time. Still, it did allow one to discover what they want.
