The Golden Nugget
Where common Gold Award beliefs are labeled myth or reality…
Belief 1: Can Fast Track hours and Career
Option hours be combined to reach 40 hours or are they mutually
exclusive?
MYTH! You may not combine Fast
Track (paid job) hours with Career Option hours to reach your
minimum 40 hours of career exploration. You must do all 40
hours in a job that interests you as a potential career or
work 40 hours engaged in activities such as attending career
fairs, exploring trade school, or college Web sites, shadowing
professionals and interviewing them, visiting a college, taking
college prep classes, etc.
