the parantheticals are referencing teacher names to tell which room to go to for that presentation – left in a couple so you could appreciate the very appropriate location for the Law Enforcement presentation

these options leave a lot to be desired and make me wonder how the fuck they recruit for them, because it doesn’t seem like there’s much effort to get a wide breadth of interests and options.

    My career isn’t on there, I couldn’t even smash it into one of the categories. Do you have to be represented on the list to be invited?

      like, there’s so much that is missing from this list, but we have Military plus Drone Pilot, like those are actually separate things

      it’s just so bleak, the difference between what they’re telling kids now about their future versus what I was told in the late 90s is just wild. “learn to oppress, or else” seems to be the sum of it

        Aren’t these usually just dependant on who volunteers to come to them? Not surprising that’s it’s a bunch of bullshit jobs and executives showing up because the people with real careers are too busy with actual work and aren’t given the time to come talk to kids about their industry.
