In total, about 80 students attended. Nick's was one of many speakers at a career fair organized by school staff. The goal of the fair was to give students some ideas and classes to consider in high school and beyond. The students attending Nick's sessions were not necessarily interested in communications; rather, it was an opportunity for them to explore.

Nick talked about why communication and accuracy are important. He explained how oral stories turned to written, especially through newspapers, then came radio, then TV, then digital/web media. Nick talked about his role as meteorologist, and shared some of the classes he took in high school to put him on his career path. He also explained that participating in forensics made him a better speaker in front of other people.

Nick also touched on the vast careers in communications, in particular, television broadcasting. He talked about journalism and reporting, the need for graphic artists and production experts, the role of engineers, and the importance of sales executives. He said many classes that the students take in high school and college will be related to communications in one way or another.

After 15 minutes of speaking during the 25 minute sessions, Nick opened the floor to questions. Most asked about the pros and cons of his job. Thankfully, there are very few cons; for one, waking up at 1:45 AM is not easy. But, Nick loves talking about weather!
