College & Your Career

Guest Speaker
Written By Christopher Simmons

Hosted by Troop 3
Sponsored by Golden Gate District, Scouting America

Sunday, April 27, 2025
1p – 3p

Cathay Post # 384 — American Legion 
1524 Powell Street

Scouts, their friends, and parents are invited to join us for a lively in-person chat with two young Bay Area graduates of USC, Northwestern, and Wharton Business School. They will share what they see happening today in the job market that you will one-day be joining. Hear how these two young people found out that they were bad at their jobs...and then discovered what they were truly great at.

• What to do if you don’t know what you are good at

• Which jobs will disappear in the next 5 years

• The “soft skills” you need that no one told you about

• How AI is impacting your career 


Note: This is a free event. Sign up is directly with Troop 3. Scouts are responsible for getting to and from the event themselves. This is also the day we come back from our Mystery Trip.
