How these results work

Every career carries curated scores on seven dimensions — pay, speed to income, stability, growth, training cost, flexibility, and day-to-day fit. Your answers reshape how much each dimension counts and nudge the scores; the per-card breakdown shows exactly which of your answers moved each option.

Entry odds are scored separately from fit: fit says how good the career would be for you, odds say how hard the door is to get through given your strengths.

Figures are directional planning inputs from public sources, refreshed by hand — verify current numbers for your region before committing to a program.

Scores are computed instantly in your browser. Your answers are saved to your account only if you sign in; otherwise they stay on this device.
