He's not on Linkedin, but is on Facebook. I wonder if he's paid via 1099. This guy highlights a failure of our education system, career exploration. No wonder nearly 1/3 of kids drop out. Kids are told to study math, sciences, etc... but why? K12 does(and even in colleges) do not connect the dot to show kids the end game, a rewarding career. As you know, universities and high schools are not producing enough of the kinds of people organizations need. I believe all of us in recruiting have the responsibility to make sure that K12, especially high school counselors, teachers, and students are at least somewhat aware of what jobs are available in our organizations and what education is required to get those jobs.
