Students at Tobias Elementary School on Friday heard about several different professions at the school’s Career Day. Second graders rotated through four different presentations; they learned about being a reporter for the Hays Free Press, a map maker for the Texas Parks and Wildlife agency, a car repair mechanic from Hays High School and working for the Hays branch of the YMCA. Questions from the students to the speakers included when did you start the job you’re in now? What made you choose that profession, what do you like most about your job? (Above, left) Gisselle Rodriguez, 8, Quashawn Mendoza, 9, and (right) Scout Holt, 8, sat down after the career presentations to share what they learned and what they want to be when they grow up. Gisselle said, “I want to make art.” “I want to be an artist, too,” Quashawn said. Scout said, “I want to be an archeaologist.”
