Mr. Justin Weninger came to Pathways to discuss his career in the Finance Career Cluster, as he works at Horicon Bank. He asked students questions about what they thought the bank business was all about. Mr. Weninger also asked the students what they thought the important parts of the bank were. He explained that important traits were needed for a bank manager. He explained to the students, "You must gain the trust of the customer as you develop a good relationship with them." He also explained the inside details of how a bank works. Banks have many different pieces that fit together as a puzzle. Mr. Weninger gave advice about using banks now and in students' futures saying: "When you are a young adult working on getting a good relationship with a bank, start little and work your way up."
