Career Gear: Students learn of options By GINA KINSLOWGlasgow Daily Times “I think that would be a good job,” she said. “You get to work with kids all day.”
Unlike Walton, Ponder said she wants to teach elementary school because, “It’s just a good age.” Leigh Anne Botts, a Glasgow interior designer, was a presenter. “I like to think I’m giving them lots of options that they can maybe target and set goals to kind of structure their future after,” she said. Some of the questions students asked her dealt with salary and the type of classes they should take in high school and college in order to become an interior designer. One student asked her what inspired her to become an interior designer. “I told them since I was interviewed when I was in kindergarten that I said, ‘I like to color,’” she said. “And probably if you asked me today, I would say, ‘I still like to color.’” Kent Keen, public information officer for the Glasgow Police Department, also spoke. He said he was glad to have the opportunity to talk to the students. “It was a good chance to have a relationship with the kids and let the kids see how the police department interacts with the community and what it takes to become a police officer,” he said. Keen answered questions ranging from salary to positive and negative aspects of working in law enforcement. Brian Humphrey, a Barren County Middle School eighth-grader enjoyed the program. “The career fair was pretty cool because many people came in and told us about their job and about their salary so that we can learn about different careers,” he said. One career possibility that piqued Humphrey’s interest that he hadn’t thought of in the past was a fast food franchise. “One guy was a franchisee for Hardee’s and said he enjoyed working at Hardee’s and he got the days off that he wanted,” Humphrey said.
