Show HN: Unschooler predicts future career by analyzing YouTube We created an experimental feature that predicts a future career by analyzing Youtube preferences. Our main goal is to help young people find their passion. Every teenager we spoke to mentioned Youtube as a learning source. Suddenly we realized that YouTube contains all information about interests, learning history, and answer search, underneath which lies their unique purpose. However, most parents don't know how to apply these interests to their teens' future careers. We came up with the idea to translate interests from Youtube into the career language and predict the probable specialization on the single Skills Map. How it works: 1. We analyze interests on Youtube and predict suitable specializations with Skills Map. 2. People try real daily tasks of the recommended professions for 1 week. Every task updates the skills Map and prediction. From the beginning, we compared the data with a control group of our friends, who had already known their passion. We are still in the process of filling the skills database, but we already see precise matches for our users, despite missing some particular areas: — Our designer's map matched his passion for 3D and generative graphics — https://bit.ly/3PqfVUT — This man is a software developer, and our algorithm showed us this before we even knew him — https://bit.ly/3w7TZHD — Our social media manager leans more toward Design than Marketing — https://bit.ly/3PqGcT9... — This girl is learning cosmetics from a chemistry perspective - however, our data showed her real passion and aptitude: interacting with people around these cosmetic topics — https://bit.ly/3SRyQeh Test your skills https://bit.ly/3SWmv8T and share your opinion about the results with a link to your profile here, in the comments.
