There are a ton of great ideas backed up by a considerable amount of research done by 80,000 hours (https://80000hours.org/ https://80000hours.org/) about problems worth solving (although most I think would take longer than a year). They also have a nifty job board in case you want to work for an existing high impact org rather than start your own
- rognjen 7y agoI've heard of 80000 hours before but if I'm not mistaken it's more for people who don't _have_ to work to earn money. A while ago one of their career advice blog posts gained traction and it read absolutely as advice for someone who doesn't have to worry about money at all. One of the pieces of advice was something like "don't make long term plans" and there was no advice at all about compensation. E: Found the blog post: https://80000hours.org/2019/04/career-advice-i-wish-id-been-given-when-i-was-young/ https://80000hours.org/2019/04/career-advice-i-wish-id-been-... It includes advice such as "Don’t focus too much on long-term plans" and "Crowdsource your career decisions".
- atlasunshrugged 7y agoMaybe for that one person who wrote that article that's true, at least for myself who has followed some of their advice (and many people in my network) we definitely all have to work to earn money and survive. I also think there is lots of other advice and frameworks for how to think about your career on the site so I would take one anonymous contribution with a grain of salt, even if they did have a high impact career.
