Meet the Panelists
Sal Khan will moderate a live panel discussion on YouTube and Facebook with these three panelists:
High school students, if you’ve ever said to yourself “college isn’t for me,” this free live event is for you. The skills you develop in high school and college can help you prepare for many different types of careers, from fashion design to software engineering, and from cybersecurity to becoming an entrepreneur.
In this event you’ll hear from a panel of recent high school grads who will discuss 5 high-paying career paths, how they decided what to do after high school, and what advice they’d give their younger selves. The panelists will also share tips on how to afford college and what to do if you feel academically unprepared for college. Sal Khan from Khan Academy will moderate the discussion. We hope to see you there!
