Major & Career Path Fit Calculator

First, the calculator converts your selections into four subscores (0–10 each). It then applies your Priority Mode to weight those subscores into an Overall Path Fit Score out of 100, where higher means a better current match. You’ll also get a Risk Map label (Low/Moderate/High) plus the individual subscores so you can see what’s driving the result.

Job-market outlook and time-to-employment are treated as rough categories—not real-time labor forecasts—and can vary a lot by region, internships, and networking. Readiness is self-reported, so it’s best used as a starting hypothesis for whether you should strengthen specific skills or course readiness before committing.

If your interest score is high but readiness is very low, the tool will flag “Potential but needs preparation”—use that as a call to close the gap, not as a reason to skip planning. If job-market is Weak and you select Long for time-to-employment, risk is intentionally higher; consider verifying with local outcomes before relying on the score alone.

When you compare multiple paths, make sure each one uses the same inputs so scores are truly comparable. If two paths land close together, the Recommendation logic still picks the highest overall score, but you should rely on the subscores to decide whether differences come from readiness (fixable) or job-market/time factors (less controllable).
