After discussing the various jobs at TMJ4 and the different career fields you can pursue, from engineering to being a producer, photographer, or on-air talent, the kids had a chance to interview each other.

They handled everything themselves, from running the camera to asking and answering questions about school, hobbies, and future goals. Watch some of those clips, all shot by the students, below:
