Career Fair 2023

This school year I again got the amazing opportunity to talk to 5 different class rooms of middle schoolers during their Career Day. Even though my kids have long ago left middle school, I've always felt it was important to represent software geeks during the event. In my experience over the years, most of the career days was overly represented by law enforcement and government employees, and people like me were woefully not available. However, this year, there were almost 70 unique parents and mostly technology positions they were representing. The tide has turned. Feels good.

One of my favorite things is the personal notes that the kids send to you with their mandated thanks (clearly it's an assignment). BUT ... if I'm able to leave them with a few takeaway points and spurn some personal curiousity, then it is all total worth it. The most impressive thing is the kids paying attention to how to spell my name. Could probably teach a bunch of my peers
