Yrkedag

There was no class for the whole day today because we had a Yrkedag (Career Day). They had a schedule with different people representing different professions every 40 minutes. The first one I saw was an ekonom. I would guess that's an economist or something similar. He talked about different aspects of being an economist and the various things you can work with like international stuff, taxes, etc. It was kind of hard to follow but I caught the gist of it.

The next one I saw was a pilot. She showed us how a typical work week would go. For example, start in Copenhagen, go to Frankfurt, go back to Copenhagen, then fly to Helsinki and stay the night there. She talked about her responsibilities: checking the plane to make sure it's not leaking oil or anything as well as pre-flight preparations.

After lunch I went to the presentation for the "fastighetsmäcklare"'s, or real estate agents. They talked about what kind of education and personal characteristics you need to do their job. They also gave out pens and chocolate, so they were my favorite. Then we went back to a friends house and played Empire: Total War. I was the Prussians and I did really badly.

I'm going to Stockholm for the first time this weekend. Looking forward to it!
