How to use this site
You can think of this site in three parts.
1. Understand your options
Start with guides that explain different directions you can go.

How much they cost
-
What the day to day work is like

Later we will turn them into links.
A quick note
I am not a career counselor and I cannot promise you a specific salary or job.
My goal is to give you clear, real information so you can make better decisions.
No new degree does not mean no work.
It means you take a smarter path to your next chapter.
