This means your choice of career is the most important decision you'll ever make. Choose well, and you can have a more rewarding, interesting life, and also help solve some of the world's most pressing problems. Choose poorly, and you could waste decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo, what should you do? Most advice is based on no research, instead offering (misleading) platitudes like \"follow your passion\". It's surprisingly out of date, focusing on traditional paths rather than those most likely to thrive in an age of AI. And if you want to help others, the advice is even more simplistic—telling you to choose careers like nursing or medicine, when there are paths in which almost anyone can save more lives. In fact, some careers have hundreds of times more impact than others, but most of us have no idea which ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBenjamin Todd is the founder of \u003cem\u003e80,000 Hours\u003c\/em\u003e, a non-profit that's spent over ten years researching how to have a meaningful and impactful career.
