Careers
52 careers, explained honestly
One page for each career: a day in the work, the ways in, the entrance exams to know, the years of study, cost and pay, how AI is changing it, one small thing to try this week, and official links so that you can check every fact yourself.
Costs and pay are shown as indicative bands, not exact figures, because real fees and pay vary a lot by college, city and year. The word beside each career is its outlook in the dataset: growing, steady or changing fast.
No college, coaching institute, lender or study-abroad agent pays to appear on these pages. Pathways takes no money from them.
