Problem: There is over $1.5T of college debt. When going to school, one question that everyone does or should ask is “what can I do with this degree?”; but often this answer is difficult to find.
Solution: A platform where you can type in your demographic information, university, and degree and it will find people like you who went on a similar career path. Through scraping publicly available information on LinkedIn and working to get you 1:1 chats with these individuals, this solution would help people to better decide their career paths and jobs. TalentDesk has a poor version of this CareerFinder on their website; however, it does not provide you with someone to talk with.
Monetization: Every 1:1 chat costs $1 (or some other fee per chat). Freemium model; looking at career paths are free, but getting more details is extra.
