Will you share your story?

In 2026, there are so many ways to make a living. Countless jobs that didn't exist before. Most of them never come up at school.

I want to show high schoolers what's actually out there.

Through real people and real stories. And I'd love you to share yours.

What I'm building

A platform for the stories nobody tells.

When I was figuring out what to do after school, the picture of "work" I was given was pretty narrow. Same handful of careers, repeated on every list.

According to ANZSCO, there are over 1,000 classified occupations in Australia. Students are only aware of a small fraction of them. Newer jobs, the ones that didn't exist a decade ago, barely come up at all.

So I'm building a place where people share the real story of their work. How they got in, what the day-to-day actually looks like, what it takes, and what they wish they'd known earlier.

Trades, creative fields, technical roles, hospitality. The careers that rarely get a proper look in school. That's what this is for.

You can Google any job title. You can ask AI what it's like to be a plumber or a nurse. What you can't replicate is a real person saying "this is my life, this is what I actually did, this is what I wish I knew."
