However, when it came to choosing a profession, I didn't know what I wanted to do.</p> <p>I didn't have the money to consult a career counselor, and the existing quizzes I tried felt too generic. As a result, I chose a field that my parents encouraged me to pursue, but to this day, I still doubt that decision.</p> <p>This led me to investigate the topic further, and I discovered that many people face the same problem. Based on the research I have been reading, I started building a project that could help solve it in three simple steps.</p> <p>First, users chat with a bot. After analyzing their answers, it suggests professions that might suit them and creates a personalized roadmap to help them achieve their goals. This includes guidance on getting into a specific university, relocating to another country if needed, and securing their first internships.</p> <p>Next, there is a simulation game that recreates what it is like to work in the profession they have chosen. (Generates specific environment tailored to their choice. e.g day as a policeman, firefighter, dentist, etc) This allows users to better understand whether it is something they truly want to pursue before committing to it.<br> Real-time simulator game wasn't created for now, but is under development.<br> This is the first version of the app, so it will be edited and polished hundred times in future.</p> <h2> Demo </h2> <p> <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/un8x7pI8jQY"> </iframe> <br> </p> <div class="ltag-github-readme-tag"> <div class="readme-overview"> <h2> <img src="https://assets.dev.to/assets/github-logo-5a155e1f9a670af7944dd5e12375bc76ed542ea80224905ecaf878b9157cdefc.svg" alt="GitHub logo"> <a href="https://github.com/z10565" rel="noopener noreferrer"> z10565 </a> / <a href="https://github.com/z10565/futurevision" rel="noopener noreferrer"> futurevision </a> </h2> <h3> </h3> </div> <div class="ltag-github-body"> <div id="readme" class="md"> <div class="markdown-heading"> <h1 class="heading-element">futurevision</h1> </div> </div> </div> <br> <div class="gh-btn-container"><a class="gh-btn" href="https://github.com/z10565/futurevision" rel="noopener noreferrer">View on GitHub</a></div> <br> </div> <br> <h2> The Comeback Story </h2> <p>As I was busy adapting to university life and a new country, I couldn't devote much time to the project. However, after participating in a short hackathon, I decided to return to it and continue its development.</p> <h2> My Experience with GitHub Copilot </h2> <p>I have some experience using GitHub Copilot and have occasionally followed its suggestions, but I cannot say that I know all of its commands or capabilities.</p> devchallenge githubchallenge
