This means your choice of career is one of the most important decisions you'll ever make. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMake the right choices, and you can help solve some of the world's most pressing problems, as well as have a more rewarding, interesting life. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor such an important decision, however, there's surprisingly little good advice out there. Most career advice focuses on things like how to write a CV, and much of the rest is just (misleading) platitudes like \"follow your passion\". Most people we speak to don't even use career advice - they just speak to friends and try to figure it out for themselves. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen it comes to helping others with your career the advice usually assumes you need to work as a teacher, doctor, charity worker, and so on, even though these paths might not be a good fit for you, and were not what the highest-impact people in history did. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis guide is based on over ten years of research conducted alongside academics at the University of Oxford. It aims to help you find a career you enjoy, you're good at, and that tackles the world's most pressing problems. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt covers topics like: 1. What makes for a dream job, and why \"follow your passion\" can be misleading. 2. Why the most effective ways to make a difference aren't always the obvious ones like working at a charity, or becoming a doctor. 3. How to compare global problems, like climate change and poverty, in terms of their scale and urgency. 4. How to discover and develop your strengths. \u0026gt;What people are saying \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"A ridiculously in-depth guide about how to find that perfect career for you\"  \u0026gt;\"This career guide is among the most thoughtful and grounded I've seen\" \u0026gt;\"This incredible group is helping people have a greater social impact with their careers.\"  \u0026gt;\"Every college grad should read this\"  \u0026gt;Read more online \u0026gt;About the authors \u0026gt;Benjamin Todd is the co-founder and president of 80,000 Hours.
