MILTON DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOL

Honoured to be invited to Milton District High School to present to the careers class. We spoke about my science fair project that was to establish at "What age does someone select their career and what factors influence them". The results I found were shocking and later I was able to find further evidence from a report by statistics Canada. Did you know, over 60% of people choose their career after 25 years of age thus highlighting that most do not follow the career they choose at the time of their university. Sound like a problem that needs to be fixed as one spends so many valuable years learning something that they hardly use in real life. Thank you Tanya for having us!
