Annual career fair Monday at high schoolMore than 100 people ranging from architects to musicians will be on hand Monday night to talk about their careers during the annual career fair at Burnsville High School.

The event, free to everyone, will include the professionals talking about the career paths they followed and about their respective occupations.

The fair will run from 6 to 8 p.m. Monday at the high school at Hwy. 13 and Portland Avenue.

"This is a great chance to explore a large number of career choices and to ask questions about education, training, salary and more," said Marcia Sexton of the Career Center at Burnsville High. "Students will be able to gather a lot of information to help them plan their futures."
