Common questions
Is the quiz free?
Yes. The quiz, your interest code, your top 3 jobs with pay in your state and your aura card are free, no account needed.
Where does the pay come from?
From the US Bureau of Labor Statistics' latest yearly wage survey (2025 data), the same numbers O*NET OnLine shows for each state.
Is this the government's test?
The questions come from the O*NET Interest Profiler by the US Department of Labor, used word for word under its CC BY-ND license. We're an independent site, not endorsed by the Department of Labor.
What does the plan add?
All 20 matches, pay in each city of your state from entry level to top earners, how to get in (education and training), saved shortlists, retakes and a weekly deep-dive on one of your jobs.
Why monthly and not once?
Choosing a major or a first job takes weeks. Most people keep it a month or two and cancel in one click.
Can it tell me what job I'll get?
No. It shows jobs that match your interests and what they pay. It's a starting point to explore, not a promise.
What does the plan cost?
$4.99 a month after 7 free days. You don't need a card to start the trial, and you can cancel any time from your account page.
What is written by AI?
Only the short "why this fits you" note on a job, written from your interest scores and clearly labelled. Every pay figure, job description, outlook and training detail comes straight from the BLS and O*NET tables, unchanged.
How your matches are made
Your interest code
Each of the 30 activities belongs to one of six interest areas: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising and Conventional (often called RIASEC, or the Holland code). Each answer counts from 0 (Strongly Dislike) to 4 (Strongly Like), so each area scores 0 to 20. Your three highest areas make your code.
Your jobs
O*NET rates every occupation on the same six areas. We rank the jobs whose interest profile most closely follows the shape of yours, then show the top ones that have published pay, with their Job Zone (how much preparation they take) and O*NET's Bright Outlook flag for jobs expected to grow fast or have many openings.
The pay
For your state we show the BLS median, the middle of what people in that job earn, next to the US median. The plan adds the 10th to 90th percentile in every metro area of your state: roughly where people start, and what top earners make.
Who it's for
High-school and college students and 18 to 28-year-olds choosing a major or a first job, and the parents helping them. It works for anyone in the United States: the pay data covers every state and the District of Columbia.
