re: Any of you baws ever been asked to speak at career day at a school?

All the time, and it’s not as fun as you apparently think it is. Kids don’t give a shite when you explain what you do.

School visits (to teach my field) are a lot more fun.

I have done a bit of public speaking, the most interesting of which perhaps is: my high school alma mater had a regular practice of inviting successful former graduates back to give the commencement address at their graduation ceremony - I did so at one such event, at which my then girlfriend was the valedictorian of the graduating senior class.

Yes. I’ve never done it, though. We recruit a lot of great young engineers from LSU. Some of our other managers have done it.

I do all the time. My message is simple: "Work hard and you too can be a millionaire playboy astronaut like me!"
