45 min sessions with Q&A
Yeah, 40-45 minute blocks are much easier to prepare for from a speaker standpoint. Gives the speaker much more time to hit the points they want to emphasize and to involve his/her audience.
15-25 minutes blocks makes it impossible to have audience participation.

Get a HR manager from a large business or company and have them come in and talk about what the company does and the different types of careers available there. You can get a wider range of information, and they usually have some experience speaking to a group, were getting a random professional to speak about their career to a group could be hit or miss as to how they will do.

Throw a veterinarian into your mix. The range between small/large animal practitioner, pharma research/development, , public health professionals, and educators will cover a broad spectrum of interests for the science minded.

The HR manager is a very good idea.

The HR department can also offer a lot of general advice on do's and dont's for job interviews and resumes, kids really have no idea about this kind of stuff and some of them may be looking for jobs right out of high school. You may consider getting someone that is experienced at interviewing job applicants and have the students sign up for a "mock" interview. We did this for college students where I once worked,it gave them some practice and feedback on areas they could improve before they had to do it for real.

You should focus on the skilled trade speakers. There's a huge shortage of skilled trade jobs and there's a potential to make some serious money. Kids have had the "you have to go to college to be successful" mantra drilled into their heads and it's simply not true.
yep, this is true. College can be a great thing (and if nothing else you at least get to interact with a whole new set of people where any number of opportunities can arise). But it is not for everybody and there are plenty of other jobs out there that simply do not require that. The price of everything a student (or their parents) have to pay while attending college is ridiciously high. Everything from tuition to textbooks (don't get me started on that shite) is priced that high because of the stupid notion that "You must go to college to succeed in life"

Mr. Smith, if you're implying that I don't know the difference between hi and high, you're incorrect.
Perhaps I was trying to save a little digital space in a finite line for a title, yet get the point across.
But thanks for your help, all the same, sir.

That's a good idea. My wife, rad and mammo tech, gets to speak with students at schools and she also speaks at women night clinics/health fairs and gets paid for it. Her department is alloted a certain amount of money each year for community engagment.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
Line-up is set, and no charge for students.
2 very successful engineers sharing a spot, the president of a technical college, and a great film producer.
This is the variety we plan to have at our monthly presentations.
If you have or know of a high school student that may be interested in joining us, shoot me an email at pathfinderdtown@yahoo.com
No profit involved for the organizer(s). The profit is for the kids and their parents.
ETA: Location is off Old Perkins, near Santa Maria and Blue Bayou Water Park

If you ever need a speaker to speak about what not to do with their life let me know

Do y'all's guidance counselors in your kid's high school just totally suck? Ours coordinate events like this three or four times per year for free, it's in their job description. School foots the bill for everything.
Eta: and the school gets positive PR exposure for doing its job, too.
Props if you're doing this out of the kindness of your heart.
