The Team/Credits

This team has been working hard this year to create a web site that could give readers a taste of the career world available to them. As an entry of the Thinkquest Internet Contest, this site was made to teach others about some interesting subjects and at the same time to learn more about the Internet. This page of our site is dedicated to everyone who helped us put it together. Learn more about each person by scrolling down or clicking on a name or topic at the left.
