Students traveled from booth to booth, learning about fields varying from well-known jobs such as medicine to more unique careers such as Urban Planning; however, the professionals had more to talk about than what they do.

Offering realistic advice to students, Dr. Steve Zullo, an expert in the field of Biotechnology from the National Institutes of Health, said, “Concentrate on being able to express yourself,” in regards to enabling others to understand the points you are trying to make, and who you are.

Further guidance came from social worker Mr. Mark Hosmer who works for the company Homestretch, which assists homeless families in the area.  “Don’t worry about it (your career path), try lots of different things,” said Hosmer.
