Design Your Future
We Empower You to Create Your Own Path
Warning:
if you are a high school student,
drop everything & read this
(your future depends on it)
Most high school students don't know what careers they want to pursue, or even worse, think they want to become a lawyer, doctor, or other specific profession only to find out 15 years later that they hate it...
...and have to start all over in their late 20s or 30s.
know the truth
"TOO MANY KIDS GO OFF TO COLLEGE WITH
NO CAREER PLAN"
HARVARD GRADUATE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION
The unfortunate truth is that 70% of people are unhappy with their career choice. Many people are coming home from work feeling miserable, stressed, or stuck. This means that unless you get lucky, the odds are currently stacked against you finding a career you love.
The average college student changes one's major at least once and currently needs 7.4 months after graduation to find a job, an estimated $29,600 in lost income. The confusion that students feel costs real money.
What's the cost to your happiness?
Ohio State University also conducted a study that found those who had low job satisfaction in their 20s and 30s were more susceptible to mental health issues later on, including higher levels of depression, sleep problems, and excessive worry.
What does it cost you to not know
what paths excite you?
your lack of direction
is not your fault
If you knew exactly what you wanted to do before you graduated high school, you would be happier, healthier, enjoy life more, be more successful, make better decisions and make even more money doing what you love.
Yet most high school students are confused because they have no idea how to determine what they want to do with the rest of their lives.
They have no conduit to effectively help them.
And if you feel that you know what you want to do, have you really taken the time to determine if you're right? Have you explored all the different opportunities to be able to truly assess that the path you think is right is actually the best one for you?
we have figured out
the solution
We have spent years studying the secrets to why some students have been able to design fulfilling, prosperous, meaningful, and happy careers while others have floundered. We have used that wisdom to create a unique plan that hasn't been offered to you yet at an investment that you will absolutely be able to afford.

Your Future is His passion
meet ouR founder
David Dvorkin always felt that high school students were not getting the right career counseling that they needed. He found that they were making such important life decisions based upon the limited knowledge of their mom and dad's careers or the careers of a few professionals they met at their school's Career Day.
His mission is to help you become the best you can be in life and at work. That's why David has dedicated years of his life to identify the right career roadmap, discovery process, and mentors that high school students need access to in order to design a fulfilling career.
David is a Magna Cum Laude graduate from Emory University and has been a frequent guest speaker at Columbia and NYU on the topic of choosing a career. He became the youngest Director of New Business at his company in the media and entertainment industry and was selected as the leader to hire recent college graduates and run its summer internship program.

Each video conference will be approximately 30 minutes

know what makes us so different
our criteria to select the best 3 mentors for you to learn from each month
Other companies can try to copy our roadmap and career discovery process, but they cannot replicate our mentor network.
It's not easy to find the best mentors for you from the fastest growing industries. Our unique advantage is that we have spent years to find them, and we have found professionals who are experienced and trained in counseling high school students and are willing to give you their all!
Without the right mentors, you cannot intentionally design a fulfilling career. Without the right mentors, you have to rely on luck, and most successful executives are not interested in taking the time to talk to high school students or don't have the experience in counseling high school students effectively.
There are some who have the passion and experience like our founder, David, who want to invest their valuable time and energy in helping students become the best they can be. We have spent years to find these mentors for you.
Our professionals are carefully selected with these six criteria in mind:
-
5+ years in their industry
-
Have a passion for their work
-
Experience working with students
-
Are currently in a growth role or industry
-
A demonstrated track record of career accomplishments
-
Possess a strong desire to contribute to students' growth
Our criteria ensures that you are learning from the best mentors who are committed to your growth and have the most to offer you.
The best way to design your future
We have researched and carefully considered your alternative career development options.
You may be thinking, "Can't I do this myself?"
Sure, you may have some connections to different careers, and you should definitely explore those, but it takes hundreds of hours to find and train a powerful network of the best people from the fastest growing jobs and to know the right questions to ask them. We save you that time and guide you in eliciting the exact information you need in order to design your future.
"My school or community already has Career Days. Why do I need your solution?"
Career Days can help you learn from a few professionals, and in our culture of instant gratification, it's tempting to think that you can design your future in a few days, but let's be honest. Do you truly feel that a handful of days will give you a clear picture of the abundance of opportunities available to you and help you assess which ones that are right for you?
"I'll learn what career is right for me from one of the popular online career quizzes."
There are no shortage of these quizzes online that promise to tell you what you should do with your life. They can be a lot of fun and we could have created one as well, but do you really believe that answering a few simple questions can tell you what you want to do with your life?
"I'll just learn what I want to do when I have an internship one day."
Internships can be great experiences, but will a few experiences in a few industries truly help you understand the myriad of possibilities available to you? The problem is that internships are useful for test driving different careers once you already know which ones interest you, not for exploring careers in the first place.
"I'll just wait until college and the Career Center will help me."
The problem with waiting is that only 17% of college graduates reported that their career center was "very helpful" in a recent research study. Most students don't even go to the career center, and if they do, they are typically only exposed to a few speakers from a few industries.
Only our program effectively helps you meet up to 100 mentors from the fastest growing jobs from the comfort of your living room, who are trained and experienced in counseling high school students. This unique advantage combined with our career roadmap and discovery process helps you find the career paths that excite you the most in high school so that you become one of the few students in college who get to select internships around your 3 favorite careers and ultimately design a fulfilling career!

You will be invited to an intimate gathering each year where you will be able to meet and connect face to face with your role models.

Here's what you will get...
- Learn from three of the most successful mentors each month on video chat from three of the 100 fastest growing industries.
- Gain exclusive access each week to the video interview on demand
- Receive guidance in narrowing down your exploration list to the top 3 career paths that excite you the most (During 12th grade)

- Get your most important career questions answered each month on the call or after the call through our exclusive chat platform
- Receive an invitation to attend an intimate gathering each year where you will be able to meet and connect with your role models face to face
When it comes to the $29,600 that you will save from proactively designing your future, the price of our program is insignificant.
Most importantly, as we've seen from the research above, any price is insignificant when it comes to avoiding depression, problems sleeping, excessive worry, and instead feeling happy, healthy, and fulfilled in your future.
