[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For my kid (now a senior), it often seemed to be less about the job and more about the journey. The presenters they came home talking about were the ones who told the best stories. And sometimes those stories were about how they ended up in the job, not about the career itself. Or the setbacks, failures, detours, etc. along the way. Her favorites weren’t always the ones whose skills and interests aligned with her own. Or even the most interesting jobs. [/quote] This. As a teacher listening to many years of career day presentations, the real benefit to kids is to hear the many different paths adults took to get to whatever they are currently doing. Also important to hear that people weren’t perfect 4.0 GPA in HS and all went to an Ivy League school. You can also talk about the company you work for and the different skills/jobs that colleagues have.[/quote]
