Jason’s Answer

CareerVillage is a platform for students to ask questions in a safe environment. It's possible that they may be afraid to ask their family or counselors in person, or that they are having difficulty researching certain facts. And some things are just life lessons that cannot be easily "googled" but are taught. If you are wanting help in learning how a specific industry works, it's better to ask a professional in that industry than google for generic advice. Eg. Asking someone how their day to day is as a computer programmer will provide a lot of insight and may convince them to pursue that field or not
