the parantheticals are referencing teacher names to tell which room to go to for that presentation – left in a couple so you could appreciate the very appropriate location for the Law Enforcement presentation

these options leave a lot to be desired and make me wonder how the fuck they recruit for them, because it doesn’t seem like there’s much effort to get a wide breadth of interests and options.

    like, there’s so much that is missing from this list, but we have Military plus Drone Pilot, like those are actually separate things

    it’s just so bleak, the difference between what they’re telling kids now about their future versus what I was told in the late 90s is just wild. “learn to oppress, or else” seems to be the sum of it

      Aren’t these usually just dependant on who volunteers to come to them? Not surprising that’s it’s a bunch of bullshit jobs and executives showing up because the people with real careers are too busy with actual work and aren’t given the time to come talk to kids about their industry.

          I’m thinking more like people who constantly come in and say they want to do this. Like parents who are so annoying that they are given this role to shut them up. Them and parents who are in industries big enough to have a plan to recruit from primary school

            from what I understand, this

            parents who are so annoying that they are given this role to shut them up

            is not a thing here, which might be because we’re in a pretty rural, pretty poor area, and there aren’t enough bored parents with enough disposable income

            parents who are in industries big enough to have a plan to recruit from primary school

            there are no big industries here anymore.

            from primary school

            this is actually secondary school – my son will graduate high school next spring
