re: Ideas for "Career" speakers for hi school students in the BR area? Update Pg 3

I'll add that when you actually speak to a room full of kids, especially about careers they don't understand, be careful how you phrase things. Try to be basic and add factoids that will capture their interest.

For example: I am a specification analyst for a manufacturing engineering team (snooze). We design self propelled crop sprayers with a 600 gallon tank-- big enough to hold over 9000 milk cartons from the cafeteria! (Applause!)

I think it's also important to explain to kids how a specific career path impacts the world in a positive way. Kids like to be inspired and want to do a job that they feel in important in society.
