Your kid has to pick a major or a career before they have ever tried the work, and that is where regret comes from. Sidequest gives them a real piece of that work first, so a few hours in they know how it actually feels.
They pick the project and make every call inside it, so you never have to steer. You get to see what they build when nobody is making them do it.
It is free, and if they want you in the loop you get a short weekly note on what they are building.
