Career Day at RHAM

Yesterday the entire junior class of RHAM High School attended Career Day in various different locations at the school. During this event students listened to people who have experience with different jobs located in Connecticut. These presenters talked with students about their careers, and their experiences in their jobs. Afterwards they would each let students ask questions about their jobs and what the work entailed, or about the prerequisites acquired to become a part of that career. The presenters also talked about how much money they make on average for a year and what a typical day in their offices is like. Each presenter was from a different career. Two of the presenters were from the medical field. One of the presenters started and currently owns her own buissines. The other presenters that were present were graphic designers from ESPN and an accountant.

The goal of each of the presenters was to inspire the students with thier own enthusiasms about their jobs and try to see if any other students may be interested about these jobs as a career path.
