According to Ruby, being a hunter is considered a career. You kill some Grimms and you get paid. I guess Beacon could be considered a college, once they finish their training they can start hunting monsters or teaching at a school like Glynda.

Teams RWBY, JNPR and CRDL are all 17 years old except for Ruby who is 15 but was invited by the Headmaster of Beacon to join his school.
