Career Day

      Today was Career Day in my school. It is an event where companies and colleges come to our school to share information with students. There were Monroe Colleg, SUNY PolyTech, CUNY Hunter, the Army,non-profit organizations, other technical schools, and Steve Madden, the shoe company that gave away a lot of stuff to students. There were also alumni from our school who came back to visit us. I was surprised that most of them took a job unrelated to technology after college, coming from the technology high school. There was one who became a firefighter, a marine, a marketing director, and those who went into other fields. This opportunity to come to the fair was only given to the CTE students, which includes Web Design and Video Production students. All of us were supposed to dressed up in business attire for this event, although some didn't, most of the people went all out with a full on suit in this extremely cold day. The only things that were bothering me was the baggy suits that some were wearing, and those who button both buttons on their two-button suit jacket. It should be widely known that the bottom button on a suit jacket or blazer is never supposed to be fastened. I even try to be nice, giving advice to those I know to not fasten the bottom button, while some listened, a few of them not only thought I was crazy but  talked back to me in a very impolite way. To be honest, I was very disappointed on the amount of the students who made those mistakes... If you are wearing a suit, at least wear it properly!

      We went around and talked to most of these companies and schools. One of the most interesting part was that there were GearVR for students to try on. I know it's not the Oculus Rift, or the HTC Vive, or the PlayStationVr. But virtual reality is such a huge thing right now, yet most of the students barely know anything about this recent invention that will change our lives and even the direction of our future. It is something I am very interested in and am even thinking of working in something similar in the future. So it's nice they have something like that for students to better understand what's happening in the technology world. I mean, you have to know this when you are in a Information Technology school...
