We build AI for a living, and we’re figuring out our own teenagers’ futures alongside yours.

One number, fully explained

Every score comes with its reasoning and a three-year trend — never a black box.

The same yardstick for all 28

A paramedic and a paralegal, scored on the identical six factors and weights.

We publish where we might be wrong

A fixed, public methodology, re-scored every six months. Free — nothing gated.

The safest degrees aren’t the ones you’d guess. Bedside nursing scores 2.8; entry-level software, 8.1. Physical therapy, 2.5; graphic design, 8.4. Move the same work behind a screen and its exposure roughly doubles.

Every career, scored

Each row runs from a field’s most protected role to its most exposed. Green marks a genuinely low-exposure entry; red, one that’s highly exposed.

Every career below is a free sampler. Tap any row to read the full reasoning and sources — no signup, no payment.
