I will be speaking at the 2006 Career Symposia sponsored by John Hopkins University's Center for Talented Youth this coming Sunday, April 30th. This is a great program that identifies and helps in the development of exceptional high school students. The event will be held on the campus of The College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, VA.
My part is pretty simple; give these kids a perspective of careers in IT (or, professional nerd-dom as I put it) and from the inside and offer some suggestions for starting a career, and answer questions. I did this last year as well and was simply impressed by the students and their genuine interest and ambition. Can we bottle that?
