The past two weeks, Ankeny High School and Ankeny Centennial High School have been hosting a career and college day for their students. Justin Brady was invited to attend, representing The Iowa Podcast and we asked the students about their future aspirations. Make sure to go to visit our website to see the video versions of these interviews. 

Generally, there is a pattern of empathy blended with a strong financial outlook when it comes to these interviews. Most students were focused on how their skills can help other people, adults and children. Others were motivated by clear paths to a safe financial future. Only a handful of students I spoke with were focused on artistic, performing, music, or creative fields.
