With so many new and expanding fields to choose from, students can often feel confused about what career is right for them, or even if there is such a thing as *'the right job for me." Students at Cart- wright High School had the opportunity ta do a bit of first-hand job-sort- ing last Friday when the school presented Careers Day. Repre- sentatives from a variety of different fields presented inform- ation'on what their par- Annual get-together for district lodges What has become an annual event of some note was held in the Warriner Lodge Odd- fellow's Hall April 23, 1983. The occasion in question was a com- bined meeting of the lodges comprising Dis- tricts 41,42 and 43. Our Regional Director Bro. Ron Wanamaker with help from 'the various lodges was successful in bringing together a meeting that was instructive, well pre- pared and mostly an exercise in good fellow- ship. About 110 members of the order assembled to hear among many other things, an address by tlie aie afin. oie ole of On ofn ofo obo. ole of ole obo. of p.c.m. Bro. R.

Seventeen can- didates were installed and it was refreshing to note that most of them could be categorically described as being "young". A good omen for the future. Among the members included were Bro. C. Christie, Deputy Grand Master of Ontario, P.C. Bro. G. Wanamaker plus the District Deputies repre- senting their respective districts.

Several of the speak- ers are graduates of the high school and many still live in the Black- stock-Port Perry. area. Kathy McLaughlin graduated in 1975, rec- eived her Bachelor of Science degree from McMaster University and went on to become a public health nurse in the Durham Region. Alice Ann Lee was in the same class at Cart- wright, graduating a year before Mrs. Mec- Laughlin. She too be- came a nurse. Gord Malcolm grad- uated in 1972, travelled for a few years before deciding he wanted to "do something with his life". He opted for a two-year stint at Dur- ham College in the journalism program and is now a reporter for the News-Advertiser serving Whitby, Ajax and Pickering. "Journalism offers an opportunity to do things you're interested in," he told a group of students. "It's the only kind of career I know of with this kind of variety. "Making something of your chosen career de- pends strictly on your- self", he added. His message to students was similar to that of the other speak- ers --- keep an open mind and once you've decided on a career, go at it with enthusiasin. Ministry of Agri- culture representative Brian Hall suggested looking carefully at higher education, selecting colleges or universitites with your career choice in mind, and not cutting yourself off from opportunities that might arise along the way. "Try to leave some doors open, try to keep some broad know- ledge", he said. "It's also a good idea to get some kind of experience in the field, to go work for someone else, You can be surprised what you can learn by giving itatry." Other speakers were there to show students that their careers are not what the public makes them out to be. Ann Belanger, for example, is a chartered accountant. "I will admit up front Witt py at AOL AT SE I 5 ATR Bh 6 I that I have an ulterior motive in discussing the chartered accountant's profession," she said. "'I want to try to correct what I see as a stereo- type -- the image of accounting as cold, dry and boring. I may be oversensitive on this topic, but it seems to be that over the years, accountants have had very bad press. "I haven't noticed any TV series centered around the exciting world of accounting. I guess it's because accountants work with, facts and figures. And with money,"" Ms. Belanger added. "It's a funny thing about money. The only money that's really interesting is your own. And then, of course, it's very inter- esting indeed'. aL { posi LEAL = o£ Brian Hall, nurse Alice Ann Lee, principal Gord Paisley, reporter Gord Malcolm, nurse Kathy McLaughlin, legal secretary Jan Mar- tyn, and chartered accountant Ann Belanger.
