EdgeGamer's Career Day!
With the endless variety of community members within EdgeGamers, we have the joy to have a VAST field of people who have been there and done that.
From people with Master degrees, engineers of many kinds, managers, grad students, people currently in college, and so on.
With all those people, we also have a wide ranging group of individuals within our community who are just starting their journey into the big world. Whether that be them in their Senior year of HS, in college, looking what to major in, curious about specific fields, etc.
This has been put together, to help those younger community members and assist them in gleaning from those within the community who have BEEN THERE, AND DONE THAT!
With my great pleasure, I am here to announce the first annual EdgeGamer's Career Day!
Career Day will be a 3 day event, that will have a variety of speakers with a wide range of experiences, and job titles. It will be structured in time slots, where you the community member can jump in and listen to a given speaker and ask them questions to their relative experiences and job fields.
