What worries parents today

Sound familiar?

We hear this from parents every week. You can start small: 5 minutes to see where your child is drawn.

AI and careers
AI is changing careers faster than we can understand them. What will my child be doing in 10 years?
“I don’t know”
They say ‘I don’t know what I want to be’, and applications are a year or two away.
Talks at home
Every talk about the future ends in a fight or a ‘leave me alone’.
Applying
We don’t know which grades, languages and exams are needed, or when it will be too late.
Money and safety
We want our child to study somewhere safe. But it means years and a lot of money, and getting the direction wrong is scary.
Compass doesn’t guess.It shows what fits your child, and lets them try it before applying.
Inside every career

Not just a job title

Most tests end with a list of jobs. Compass opens each one: what it pays in Europe, whether demand is growing, how to get in and how to try it this weekend.

I liked this test, especially that it has five different parts. I thought it would take longer, but it turned out quick and comfortable.

I always thought I idealised him, like a mother in love with her child :) Now a lot makes sense to me.
