Default Nice way to end the week, Career day at an elementary school

A few of us took some of our gear up to one of our employees daughters elementary school for a career day. We explained what we do and showed them some equipment we use. The kids seemed to enjoy it and had a lot of questions.

Great idea.. the orange lift looks like it is ready to fall over.. I would hate to be up there working at that angle..

I think it's the cell phone picture warping it. It stands straight but it was pretty windy...

It's called perspective.

Before you went up in the lifts, did you ask the kids "Who wants to see us get high?"

I think that this was a great idea for you to do this. If it makes just one of those kids interested in becoming an electrician when they get older, it was well worth it. Even if it doesn't, it was still a great idea.
