About the author
My name is Andreas and my mission is to educate people about the different career paths that are possible in our current state of the world.
In my opinion, people often make the mistake to choose their profession solely based on how much money they can earn from it instead of doing what makes them really happy.
This is quite sad and I just want to give people a more objective picture of what a fulfilling career could look like.
I did the same when I started working in consulting after finishing my Master’s degree in Economics.
However, I’ve quit pretty soon after that since I haven’t found true meaning in my job.
Now I can do what I really love to do and I want to enable as many other people as well to go this exciting path towards happiness instead of money.
I conducted various interviews with employees to give you a good impression of what working in different fields will look like and that you can make the best possible decision regarding your future career choice.
