I remember this kid stopping me, on the stairway and ask if I worked in IT, to
which I answered yes. He told me he was interested in pursuing a career in IT
and I encouraged him. I think I will take the next approach now and invited in
for another meeting and encourage him some more.
Thanks
Patrick

OK,
Maybe it's just me, but you gotta admit, that's inventive!
I would be asking him if he has considered a career in IT
