I began working in healthcare at the age of sixteen wanting to “help people.” My motivations are still the same, but my thoughts on how best to help people have changed dramatically.

Karolina Richterova, Creative Specialist at Google

After I left college I knew I wanted to make the world a better place but I didn’t know how best to do it. The lecture that started it all helped me think more clearly about the factors involved in career choice. The 80,000 Hours careers adviser recommended that I study programming and computer science, and that’s what I’ve been doing. While I haven’t yet achieved my dreams, I believe that the advice provided by 80,000 Hours will help me become a more effective altruist.
