On
January 15, 2005, the second
nontraditional career workshop for boys
was held at Minot High School, Magic City
Campus. The workshop was open to students
in grades 8-11. Nineteen boys braved the
cold January day to attend. Nontraditional
careers are careers where 75 percent or
more of the workers are the opposite
gender. The purpose of this workshop was
to expose boys to nontraditional career
opportunities for their
consideration.

The
day started with a panel of professionals employed
in nontraditional careers. A description of each
career was read by Pam Stroklund and the boys had
to guess who is employed in that career. The
panelist were Anne Brawley-Electrician, Lisa
Zastrow-Attorney, Amy Keeling-Networker, Maggie
Taggert-Police Officer, Reed Argent-Physical
Therapist, Robby Volk-Nurse, and Doug
Erz-Ultrasound Technician.
