What did you want to be when you grew up? Students at Omaha's King Science And Technology Magnet School got a glimpse into their future at a career fair on Wednesday.

More than two-dozen companies were invited to teach kids about their jobs and what steps they can take to prepare for the future. Representatives from UNMC and Creighton University Medical Center were there along with several attorneys and even a few CEOs.

School counselor Thang Tran said the success of the event is all thanks to the students.

"They're kind of surprised, to be honest with you. I don't know what kind of expectations people have, but when they come here they are just so surprised at the respect and the depth of our kids because they really are some great kids here and they just get to see a glimpse of that here when they interact with them."

The business reps talked about what it takes to land a good job and how important education is.

“We want to just make sure that the things they're learning in school is for a purpose,” said Tran. “One day they're going to be in the workforce and they need to know that they're going to be part of the community."

This was the second year of the career fair. Tran said they'd like to have even more science and technology presenters next year since it's the focus of the school's curriculum.
