How we make our guides

Texts on work-as are generated with AI. Career guides, articles, example weeks, quotes, costs and FAQs are written by large language models from public sources such as statistics offices, licensing boards and official career information.

We don't present them as the work of human experts: the quotes are illustrations written by work-as, not interviews, and the example weeks show what a week can look like, not a record of one.

If you find a mistake, tell us — we fix reported errors.

Pay numbers are not generated. They are taken from official statistics and shown only when the source publishes a figure for a matching occupation; otherwise the page says there is no figure.
