Deciding which pathway to take is a personal journey. Some people know exactly where they want to head and others don't have a clue! Through understanding ourselves, what we like, what we are interested in, what we are good at, and what we know, we can start to navigate that journey. Research and informed knowledge are the keys to having a good understanding of options that are available.
On this site, you will find a range of resources to help you with planning, decision making, research and doing.

Probably half a decade ago, most people were unaware of what a drone was. But the rapidly developing world has embraced the use of Drone Technology for a variety of reasons! From film videography to data collection and military purposes, drones have become an indispensable part of many industries.
Some private companies offer Drone Pilots a salary of up to $65,000. And we are already seeing jobs that combine drones, AI, and chemistry for the agriculture sector.
More than anytime in history, the world seems like a global village. Who would have thought fifteen years ago that remote-first companies would exist today? But that is our present reality.
With technology development, distance has become a minor consideration for businesses and they are fast seeing opportunities to become global traders. That means people experienced in international law, work and environmental regulations, tax codes, and ethics will be in high demand.
We may still rely on oil and gas as the primary energy sources, but this is only a matter of time. In the near future, alternative energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydrogen will be the sources we turn to. And professions like mechanical engineering technicians, environmental scientists, chemical engineers, home performance advisors, and production managers will be in high demand as companies respond to climate change.
There has been a sudden boom in the cryptocurrency market ever since Bitcoin made its presence felt. Now, hundreds of other cryptocurrencies are trying to make their way into the market and gain value by the day.
An average Blockchain Developer earns between $140,000 to $175,000.
With the development of online payments and smart homes, the world will need more people who can protect their data and also work on cybercrime investigations! This is a very interesting and massively growing industry that young people should definitely pay attention to.
