Simulating Your Future Career

Trying to decide on a career and tired of reading material on actuary and social work Web sites? Get a Life! is an online scenario simulation tool that provides long-term future scenarios for the world of work and the society where work will be performed.

The project is coordinated by Leena Jokinen of the Finland Futures Research Centre, financed by the European Social Fund and private industry, and implemented by five Finnish universities. Get a Life! aims to promote future-oriented thinking among students. An English-language demo version can be downloaded from http://getalifehanke.wordpress.com/in-english
