The 80000 Hours Career Guide — Find a fulfilling career that does good

We aim to list issues where each additional person can have the most positive impact. So we focus on problems that others neglect, which are solvable, and which are unusually big in scale, often because they could affect many future generations — such as existential risks.

Appendix I: Problem profile summaries

Appendix F: College advice

Appendix G: Additional resources

As part of our research, we’ve evaluated different careers: how likely people are to succeed in them, how much good they could do in them, and how to enter them.

Appendix H: Career review summaries

Appendix E: Is it ever OK to take a harmful job in order to do more good? An in-depth analysis

Appendix D: How to make tough career decisions

Over the last couple of decades, a large and growing body of research has emerged which shows that our decisions are far from rational. We did a survey of this research to find out what it means for your career decisions.

Appendix C: Four biases to avoid in career decisions

The trouble with self-help advice is that it’s often based on barely any evidence.

Much other advice is just one person’s opinion, or useless clichés. But at 80,000 Hours, we’ve found that there are a number of evidence-backed steps that anyone can take to become more productive and successful in their career, and life in general. And as we saw in an earlier article, people can keep improving their skills for decades.

Appendix B: All the evidence-based advice we found on how to be more successful in any job

Lots of people say they want to “make a difference,” “do good,” “have a social impact,” or “make the world a better place” — but they rarely say what they mean by those terms.

By getting clearer about your definition, you can better target your efforts. So how should you define social impact?

Appendix A: The meaning of making a difference

We sum up the whole guide in a few minutes.
