That's a great resource for high schoolers who are trying to find a career path. I have also seen something similar to this at Khanacademy - their "meet the professional" series and also some video interviews on different careers [1].
I personally would rather read than watch because I can take-in more information faster, and I'm less willing to sit through a video from a source I'm not already connected to or familiar with (as oppose to say my favorite comedian). But given how popular many YouTube channels and videos are for people teaching various skills, maybe I should include video.
Edit: after looking at this part of Khan Academy (which I'm a fan of), the frustration I have with many of these career sites or content is that they don't focus on what doing a job is actually like nor provide enough detail. You do a job for 8 hours a day, I want to know what I will be doing during that time. Bonus if you also tell me details about what a career path for that job looks like.
