One of the biggest issues for high school students is figuring out which career they want to choose. Some Bishop Kelley students in Tulsa were able to talk to people about different career options.
Bishop Kelley's Career Day made a switch to virtual speakers from all over the world.
“Just to see a wider variety of people kind of just from all over the world. Not just Tulsa specifically," Bishop Kelley senior Ellie Spielmann said.
Since her freshman year, Spielmann said she's wanted to go to law school after college but said days like this can really help high school students make a plan for their future.
“So career day is an interesting aspect of that because it really does prepare you for life," Spielmann said. "It makes you think ahead. It makes you think ahead, not only what you could study in college, but also how you should prepare for a career after."
Students said the upside of a virtual career day is the exposure to international jobs, as well.
“It suddenly opened up the entire world to us," Bishop Kelley principal James Franz said. "So we actually have alumni from Bishop Kelley connecting from many of the states in the United States and we have them from international."
Some students already have an idea of what career they want to go into, but they still learned a lot during this year's career day.
“Personally, my favorite was business, even though I’m not planning on going into business," Bishop Kelley student Riley Montross said. "It’s really nice to see that they’re not stressed out about taking out loans or debt or anything. They’re just positive and optimistic."
