The Risks of Waiting

Without the right tools, career exploration often doesn’t happen until it’s too late.

Unnecessary Debt

Students pick a major, switch multiple times, or drop out, racking up thousands in student loans.

Lost Time

Years spent “figuring it out” instead of moving forward with confidence.

Wrong Fit

Landing in a job or career path that feels draining instead of rewarding.

Missed Opportunities

Students often overlook growing fields that could match their interests simply because they never learned about them.
