why this exists

The route nobody shows you

Most students pick a path having only ever seen the destination — a job title, a salary, a vague description — never what the job actually involves day to day. This project collects real, first-hand accounts of specific jobs: how people got into that particular role, what the day-to-day is really like, and what they wish they'd known before taking it. The goal is a map students can actually explore, one real job at a time, starting with engineering.
