We’re launching Claude Corps, a national fellowship program matching people early in their careers with US nonprofits.
We'll teach 1,000 people to use Claude, and pay them to use AI to advance their hosts’ missions.

If I had a naira for every "I'm in a position where I don't know what to do with my life" DM I've received, I would be a billionaire by now. In dollars o! Lol.
So, just to generally and briefly address this.
To the people who fall in this category, know that, the feeling is normal. You are not the only one who gets to 25, or 30, or 35 and still get that career path uncertainty. The feeling is so common it should have a public holiday.
The thing is, the people who eventually find clarity don't find it by thinking harder. They find it by doing something. Anything, honestly. They try a thing, it works or it doesn't, and that result tells them more about themselves than 10 years of thinking ever could.
The real problem isn't that you don't know what you want. It's that you're trying to be certain before you begin. And life doesn't work that way. You don't get the answer before you attempt the question.
So you scroll. You compare. You watch someone your age announce a promotion and feel a very specific kind of dread that you can't even fully explain. You make a list of "possible careers" and stare at it like it owes you something. And the weeks pass.
You need stop trying to find the perfect path and start trying to find the next step. Just one. Something small enough that failure wouldn't ruin you. It could be a side project, a conversation with someone doing work you're curious about, a short course, a single freelance job. Not a leap. A step.
And talk to real people. Actual humans who will tell you the unglamorous truth about what their day actually looks like. Five honest conversations will do more for your clarity than five months of overthinking ever will.
Also, and I say this with love, stop treating "what if I choose wrong?" like it's a reason not to choose at all. Most wrong turns aren't dead ends. They're just detours. You pick up something useful on every road, even the ones you eventually leave.
There is a new world record for 61 hours set by two Norwegian players. On the 17th of April, we will attempt to break that record and set a new one for 70 hours
My dream is to inspire the world, and raise support to build the biggest free school for homeless children in Nigeria.
Sometimes, I don't blame these people who charge consultation fees for free information. As I'm writing now, there are people in my DM asking if I can mentor them for a fee. We just have a way of corrupting good people. I've had opportunities to create YouTube channel to advertise Finland and other European countries but to what ends, if I have to give you half-truths for views and consultation fee?
Your journey to Finland or any country rests solely on you. You have phones and you have data. If you can afford to pay consultation fee, you can afford data to check every information you need on Google. I didn't know anybody nor have any support group before I moved. I used Google. You too can!
Someone asked why I'm discouraging others from coming while I'm there. I came to Finland when they just introduced tuition fee for non-EU citizens. We were the first set but I came to Finland freely. I came for master's, and I was on 100% tuition waiver plus monthly stipend throughout my studies. When I talk about this current issue, I'm talking out of experience and having watched how the system changed overtime with its impacts on immigrants.
Am I discouraging you from coming? NO
I'm telling you the reality before you make that decision. Regardless, you are welcome. Suomi is a beautiful place, if you have your tuition fees and living expenses for the duration of your study.
Are there people making it in Finland? Yes. Most of them were there before these new policies. Only a few new ones are making it. Most people who came last year are lamenting and I'm saving you that stress.
Sorry for the long post and thank you for reading.
