This note is from David Terry, an 8th grader at Jacobs Fork Middle School, Catawba County

"What I like about F4K is that you can ask questions and you get to talk to real people and not machines. Also that you can look up almost any career and see what you get paid and what you have to do to get that career. Another thing is that you get to speak to people who have actually done that career and you know that they have done that. The last thing is that F4K does a background check on all the career coaches and makes sure they are telling the truth."

Here's a note from Stefanie Freeman, an 8th grader at Cleveland Middle School, Johnston County

"I like using your website. I found it very interesting and helpful with your career search and information about the careers. Also, I enjoy being able to have my own name on your site. It is neat to have a "locker" and place for my favorite careers. I was amazed that we could also decide our high-school classes on F4K. Thank you for this wonderful site."
