East Tennessee high school seniors had the chance to learn more about how to make their career dreams a reality. Knox County Schools held its annual college and career fair on Tuesday.

Students learned more about colleges from all across the southeast and the admissions and financial aid processes.

School leaders hope the fair will help students prepare for life after graduation. Some students have their plans together, while others are still figuring things out.

"I know I'm going to Pellissippi for two years, so I gotta get that out of the way, and then I'm most likely going to UT. I'm going to go talk to them," said Brighton Bailey, a South-Doyle High School senior.

"You know, I just want to make sure I make the right decision for me. I don't want to end up at a school I'm not happy with," said Paris Hoodhull, a Fulton High School senior.

The high school seniors got to leave school for an hour to attend the fair.
