College night and career days offer some answers to questions students face when deciding on what they want to be when they grow up.

After deciding on a career students then had to choose a college to attend. That's when College night entered the scene. Representatives from many colleges come to the school and set up booths containing all the information needed in choosing their college. After a short opening session, stu- dents were allowed to browse through more than twenty-five colleges and universities.
