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.
What flyover state is this from?
No manufacturing
No traditional trades (plumbing, electrical, carpentry)
No metal working trades
No repair or automation
No even anything CLOSE to automotive related jobs
that punchline to the bleakness of the career options was the entire reason for making the post
reasonable people would say it was silly to the point of caricature to make your fictional teacher cheerleading the fascist police state to be named after the definitional characteristic that made them safe from the repercussions of said fascist police state, but here we are
I like how "Information Technology and Careers" is lumped into one group, but "sports coaching / professional athlete" and "sports officiating" have their own sections.
it's truly ridiculous
the fact that this shit flies year-to-year is evidence of how few parents are actually paying attention, which is absolutely a symptom of capitalism – nobody has time to give a fuck about how their kids are being indoctrinated
My career isn't on there, I couldn't even smash it into one of the categories. Do you have to be represented on the list to be invited?
drone pilot

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
Not one science or medicine related career. Lmao. The west is going to to be left behind.
this was why my kid brought it up to me – so disappointing
Oh, I didn't see!
Good, Nursing is damn important, especially with COVID being a dick
don't worry, none of the nurses here wear masks
I found out all about it when my mom was in the ICU a couple years ago
the healthcare professionals here do not understand airborne pathogens, as far as I can tell
Are those all the options? It seems to be alphabetical. Does it just start with Heavy Equipment Operator?
It might start a little before Broadband and 5G Careers from the title image, but it looks like that's possibly the entire list.
SAD
the title image is the beginning of the list
I asked my kid for what the options actually were when he told me how bummed out he was by them
once I saw them, I was similarly bummed. how terribly uninspiring.
we live near-ish to several nationally-respected universities, they could have had speakers about so much more interesting shit
guaranteed that the people who facilitate this thing every year are barely paid enough to give a fuck, I don't hate them for not hunting down people from outside our county to inspire our kids. I hate capitalism for making the educational system be set up in such a way that the person in charge of this shit just takes whatever is easiest instead of trying to offer a range of options.
Wow that is incredible. Really aiming high for the future generations.
sorry, maybe you can't see the initial image I posted
Show
these plus the others are all the options
Child Care Teachers (Thompson)
Fitting since they want to arm teachers now.
