Career Spotlight: Behind the Scenes with a Prosthetist

A lot of you could be starting to think about the type job you'd like to have in the future, so, as we told you last week, this season we'll be spotlighting professionals in some of Ohio's fastest-growing career fields.

Up next, we take a look at prosthetic specialist Jessie San, as she develops state-of-the-art implants for the skull. As you watch, keep a look out for the "career connection" graphic at the bottom of the screen - this tells you what school subjects to pay close attention to if you're interested in a career in prosthetics.
