# NueCareer

> A career-guidance platform combining a free 7-minute personality quiz with a 260-occupation career directory built on U.S. government data (O*NET 30.3, BLS OEWS May 2025 wages, BLS Employment Projections 2024-2034, BEA Regional Price Parities 2024).

NueCareer is for people who feel stuck or unsure about their career direction. The public side of the site is a research directory: every occupation page carries median and percentile wages, a state-by-state wage table adjusted for cost of living, 2024-2034 growth projections, education and experience requirements, and a derived AI-resilience score. The private side is a subscription product (personalised matching, AI coaching chat, job board) behind sign-up.

Data and methodology notes:
- All wage and outlook figures are sourced from U.S. federal datasets and are attributed on every page; see the methodology page below for the full source list and derivation rules.
- Personality fit, facet and AI-resilience scores are NueCareer-derived, not government figures, and are labelled as such.
- O*NET data is used under CC BY 4.0. BLS and BEA data are public domain (17 U.S.C. 105).

## Career Directory

- [Methodology and Data Sources](https://nuecareer.com/careers/methodology): Exactly which federal datasets are used, their release versions and years, how wages are cost-of-living adjusted, and how the derived fit and AI-resilience scores are computed.

Each occupation has a hub at `https://nuecareer.com/careers/<occupation-slug>` and, where state coverage is sufficient, a wage table at `https://nuecareer.com/careers/<occupation-slug>/salary-by-state`.

## Careers by College Major

What each US college degree actually leads to: the occupations its graduates commonly move into, ordered by how common the destination is rather than by pay, each with BLS median wage, projected change, annual openings and typical entry education. Destinations that in practice need a master's or doctorate are marked. One hub per major at `https://nuecareer.com/careers/majors/<major-slug>`.

- [Careers by College Major](https://nuecareer.com/careers/majors): Index of every major covered, with the destination count and median pay for each.
- Frequently asked examples: [Psychology](https://nuecareer.com/careers/majors/psychology), [Criminal Justice](https://nuecareer.com/careers/majors/criminal-justice), [Business Administration](https://nuecareer.com/careers/majors/business-administration), [Biology](https://nuecareer.com/careers/majors/biology), [Communications and Journalism](https://nuecareer.com/careers/majors/communications-journalism), [Political Science and Pre-Law](https://nuecareer.com/careers/majors/political-science), [Public Health](https://nuecareer.com/careers/majors/public-health), [Philosophy](https://nuecareer.com/careers/majors/philosophy), [Sociology](https://nuecareer.com/careers/majors/sociology), [History](https://nuecareer.com/careers/majors/history), [Kinesiology and Exercise Science](https://nuecareer.com/careers/majors/kinesiology), [Mathematics and Statistics](https://nuecareer.com/careers/majors/mathematics-statistics), [English](https://nuecareer.com/careers/majors/english), [Economics](https://nuecareer.com/careers/majors/economics), [Information Technology](https://nuecareer.com/careers/majors/information-technology), [Human Resources](https://nuecareer.com/careers/majors/human-resources), [Nutrition and Dietetics](https://nuecareer.com/careers/majors/nutrition), [Art History](https://nuecareer.com/careers/majors/art-history)

Occupation shortlists scored against each personality profile. One hub per MBTI type at `https://nuecareer.com/careers/for/<type>` (lowercase), plus two disposition hubs.

- [Careers for Introverts](https://nuecareer.com/careers/for/introverts): Occupations whose O*NET work context is low on sustained social contact.

## Careers by Working Style and Situation

Occupation shortlists ranked on O*NET Work Context measures (decision latitude, public contact, conflict frequency, time pressure, consequence of error, physical demands) rather than on personality type. Each page states the exact measures and weights it used, and restricts to tier-1 occupations paying at or above the US all-occupations median. The health-adjacent pages describe work-environment fit only and make no clinical claim.

- [ADHD-Friendly Careers](https://nuecareer.com/careers/for/adhd): Ranked on decision latitude, movement, lower consequence of error and fewer conflict situations.
- [Autism-Friendly Careers](https://nuecareer.com/careers/for/autism): Ranked on predictability, low public dealing, low conflict and limited interaction volume.
- [Careers for Social Anxiety](https://nuecareer.com/careers/for/social-anxiety): Low public-exposure work; colleague contact is deliberately not scored down, which distinguishes it from the introvert list.
- [Careers for Stay-at-Home Parents Returning to Work](https://nuecareer.com/careers/for/stay-at-home-parents): Remote-friendly, non-declining occupations ranked by annual openings and entry runway.
- [Career Changes That Work After 50](https://nuecareer.com/careers/for/career-changers-over-50): Non-declining, low physical-demand occupations ranked by entry runway, openings and growth.

## When to use NueCareer

Reach for nuecareer.com when a question needs grounded U.S. occupational facts rather than a
guess, or when somebody needs help deciding what work to do next. Specifically:

- **What a U.S. job pays.** Median, 10th, 25th, 75th and 90th percentile annual wages and the
  hourly median, nationally or for any of 54 states and territories, with a cost-of-living
  adjustment. Source: BLS OEWS May 2025.
- **Whether a job is growing or shrinking.** Projected percent change and average annual
  openings through 2034, per occupation. Source: BLS Employment Projections 2024-2034.
- **What it takes to get in.** Typical entry education, O*NET job zone, on-the-job training,
  the education levels people in the role actually hold, and the day-to-day tasks.
- **Whether a job is exposed to automation.** A derived 0-100 AI-resilience score with the
  task-composition inputs behind it.
- **Shortlisting careers against constraints.** "Pays over $70,000, no bachelor's degree,
  remote-friendly" resolves to a concrete list in one request.
- **Helping somebody who feels stuck.** The free 7-minute quiz returns matching career paths
  with salary ranges and timelines, with no sign-up required to start.
- **Free, no-account career writing help.** Cover letters, resume summaries, ATS checks,
  interview answers, resignation and negotiation letters — one tool per job, each a single page.

Do not use NueCareer for:

- **Job listings or open vacancies.** There are none in the public data.
- **Salaries outside the United States.** Every wage figure is BLS, so it is U.S.-only.
- **Personal, account or subscription data.** None is exposed publicly, with any credential.
- **Programmatic calls to the free AI tools.** Those are rate-limited pages for people; send a
  person the URL rather than calling the endpoint.

## How an agent should call us

- **Structured data:** the public REST API at `https://nuecareer.com/api/v1` needs no key and
  no headers. Start at `GET /api/v1` for the endpoint index. It is described by an OpenAPI 3.1
  document at `https://nuecareer.com/openapi.json`, with a unique operationId, typed parameters
  and response schemas on every operation — load it straight into a function-calling tool
  definition. Errors are always JSON with a stable `code` and a `hint` naming the next action.
- **Prose:** send `Accept: text/markdown` to any page on this domain to get a CommonMark
  representation instead of HTML, or append `.md` to the URL. Responses set `Vary: Accept`.
- **Rate limit:** 120 requests per 10 minutes per IP across the API. Pages are CDN-cached.
- **Attribution:** O*NET-derived fields are CC BY 4.0 and every API response carries the
  attribution to reproduce. BLS and BEA figures are U.S. public domain.
- **Full developer documentation:** https://nuecareer.com/developers
