Why this exists

This is about more than just getting a job.

This tool was built to help bridge the gap between learning and that immediate rush to get working. It uses publicly accessible data where that data exists, and structure where it doesn't, to help make the question of work feel wider, more thoughtful, and more human.

It won't answer the question for you once and for all. Most people will probably keep navigating it for a lifetime. But it might help spark some thoughts, show you just how much is out there, and help you pay real attention to the things in life that bring you joy.
