Chegou a ser aprovado 16 vezes por nove clubes em testes, chegando a abandonar o trabalho para jogar. Mas seu trabalho de cobrador de cheque não durou três dias, pois chegou nove horas em casa e não pôde ir a escola, seu pai o mandou pedir demissão para seguir com seu sonho. Após ser dispensado em alguns testes no próprio clube Wellington Paulista foi chamado para jogar pelo Juventus e posteriormente ser revelado profissionalmente pelo clube, posteriormente abandonou o mesmo por problemas, assim saindo para jogar pelo mundo a fora, denominando-se "Welligol".

The development of the railroad was paramount to the sweeping 19th century evolution of the United States from a society based on agriculture to the world's greatest industrial power.
The railroad's consequence and charisma fostered a nostalgia that captured American hearts, establishing a tradition that continues to enchant people. Appreciation for the railroad serves as a comprehensive foundation for Amato's Toy and Hobby Company, the venerable central Connecticut institution that has beguiled youngsters of all ages since 1940.
To honor the connection, Amato's is ringing in the holiday season by inviting the public to participate in two civic-minded promotions.
Visitors to the store at 283 Main Street have a chance to win a Lionel Train set worth up to $200 by donating non-perishable food items. Owner Steve Amato said the donations will help restock the shelves at the New Britain Food Pantry and fill empty platters during the holiday season.
"It's an encouragement to entice people to do more," he said.
Amato also encourages customers to make cash donations to the Salvation Army in any denomination for the purchase of toys for needy children. Amato's will match them with merchandise valued at twice the amount of the donations and transport them to the Salvation Army Holiday Castle.
He added that people have come in and donated everything from pocket change to $100 in the spirit of the holidays.
Amato said the economy has reduced the amount of traffic in recent years, but showed his faith in the New Britain store by opting to keep it open after the passing of his father.
The store's atmosphere charms the holiday shoppers as soon as they hear the locomotive whistle and the comforting sound of trains moving on the tracks of his Lionel Train layout.
That nostalgic link to the past keeps his customers coming back.

Ziggy Marley pulls out of WOMADelaide 2020
Tim Cadiente
Ziggy Marley has cancelled his planned appearance at WOMADelaide 2020, citing "unforeseen family responsibilities" that will prevent him from making it to Botanic Park this weekend.
5 March 2020 by Walter Marsh
The reggae star and son of Bob has made a last-minute withdrawal from his Monday headlining set, having led the final lineup announcement back in November.
"I would like to apologise to all the music fans in New Zealand and Australia," Marley said in a statement. "Unfortunately, I won't be making it down there for the music festival, the WOMAD music festival next weekend.
"I had some unforeseen family responsibilities that came up and I have to take care of it. I always love coming. I was really looking forward to this trip and we haven't been there in a while so it was really sad that we're not making it but alas, next year at the WOMAD festivals we will be there and so we will see you then."
WOMADelaide organisers are currently working to lock in a replacement act for Marley, who was due to close out the festival's main Foundation Stage on Monday night.
WOMADelaide 2020 opens tomorrow night, featuring Laura Marling, Mavis Staples, Bill Callahan, The Cat Empire and Aldous Harding among dozens of acts from 32 countries. Given the coronavirus-induced travel restrictions that have seen a handful of other Adelaide Festival artists withdraw or adjust their plans, it's a miracle the WOMAD lineup has so far been relatively unaffected.

Another fool suckered by "The Cloud"
Great. Not only will hackers more easily be able to steal proprietary company info from "The Cloud" but now all my medical records will be fair game. What a bunch of maroons.
Re: Another fool suckered by "The Cloud"
So I see. "OMG! It says cloud! It must be crap!"
Have a quick look past the marketing before casting aspersions, eh? I'm sure there's plenty of real issues here, not the tired old knee jerk reaction to the word 'cloud'.
@kev99. Yeah sure. Cloud = Bad.
It's in a colo. It's managed by them on their kit. I very much doubt (unlike AWS) you'll be able to cuddle up alongside them in their infrastructure with your hacking tools. If it's well designed with security baked in it'll be far more secure than individual organisations all trying (and potentially failing) to do it themselves. Look up 'community cloud'.
My concern is the use of the thin client / VDI approach. Extremely laudable from a data loss prevention perspective (and potentially bandwidth/speed too) but will PCoIP introduce loss into the imagery which in my understanding is a big no-no for medical imaging where the tone and shape of a grey blob can be the difference between life and death.
Image quality is only an issue on the initial diagnostic read, which is done within the first day or so. After a while, lossy compression can be used as the images are for reference only. Also, Mammography images are held at least 7 years from last exam.
"Image quality is only an issue on the initial diagnostic read, which is done within the first day or so. After a while, lossy compression can be used as the images are for reference only. Also, Mammography images are held at least 7 years from last exam."
I really hope this is your *opinion* and you have no idea what you're talking about.
Because AFAIK *lossless* data compression is the *only* type that's allowed for medical imagery.
Consider that *one* white dot on chest image that turned out to be a very small (and very killable) tumor.
Erased as the compression algorithm eliminates it as "noise".
Not noticed. Patient dies. Family sues and is told "Well we're not sure what the *actual* image is because the "lossy" compression algorithm threw some pixels away".
The reply from Sporkinum confuses the compression applied to the image on disk (which may or may nto be lossy - I don't know).
Anonymous coward asked about PCOIP compression - which is the compression used by the remote desktop protocol. Read up about PCOIP - it is pretty smart. It will 'build to lossless' - ie you might see some loss when an image is rotating, depending on how much bandwidth you have.
HOWEVER when the image is stationary - ie like an X-ray image - you will have a perfect image.
Speaking as someone who worked on the first PACS system in the UK, this is really interesting stuff and a good use for PCOIP.
In the US, even though the Social Security Number (SSN) is not supposed to be used as either a general or national ID, in practice it is. Of course, this leaves yet more room for miscreants to get the 'crown jewels' of identity theft.
On the cloud front, the more sensitive data that's out there, the more vulnerability, History seems to prove that internet security is a game of leapfrog.
"an open-source clinical image and object management system."
So how much of the £15Bn did the NHS spend developing something to do this?
Note this approach is *probably* only possible because US healthcare (for those who can *afford* it) is a Terra dollar business.
In the UK it was an awesomely stupid architecture.
Re: "an open-source clinical image and object management system."
this is not (as far as I know) a medical records project like the NHS project - it is a PACS project, ie allowing remote access to medical images.
You should not confuse the two.
Re: Re: "an open-source clinical image and object management system."
"You should not confuse the two."
I guess that raises 2 further questions.
The UK PACS systems seems to have been one of the *good* parts of the colossal cluster ***k of NPfIT. Did the UK system use this software (at least as a starting point) and if not how much did the base system cost.
Could the "objects" being managed have included all the data to constitute an electronic patient record?
I wonder how it deals with loops and colour, 2 things that generally let PACS systems down when viewing ultrasound exams. This is why Acuson and later Siemens Medical had to create their own PACS-for-ultrasound solution KinetDx.
Anyways, the real problem with the security of a medical mega-database is who the government legally allows access. Expect upcoming data trawls for DNA matching, for meta scans for medical insurance fraud, etc etc etc. And what about giving Google "limited, anonymous" access for marketing purposes?
Data is power, and the more easily a government can tie all our data up together the more power they have over us.

The illumination source for all high-resolution, optical sectioning, scanning microscopes is crucially important to the overall performance of the system. We examine advances that have been made in laser sources for both confocal and multiphoton microscopy where the emphasis has been on the development of potentially low-cost, easy to use sources. Growing interest in temporally and spatially resolved techniques has directed laser research towards addressing these challenges. We present the most recent developments in sources for confocal and multiphoton microscopy along with the considerations that should be made when a new source is being considered.

Donald Trump is poised to select Rex Tillerson, the president and chief executive of Exxon Mobil, to serve as Secretary of State, sources have told NBC News. Trump is expected to officially announce his decision next week.
Trump publicly weighed several other rich white men for the position, though Rudy Giuliani withdrew his candidacy on Friday, and Mitt Romney will likely prove too sensible a choice for a cabinet surfeit with only the most odious of God's creatures. Tillerson met with Trump on Tuesday at Trump Tower, and emerged as a front runner for the job over the last few days.
Tillerson comes with a wealth of diplomatic experience—namely, his efforts to strengthen his oil company's ties with Russia, a country with whom the U.S. is about to enjoy a radically different relationship than it has in years past. The Kremlin is so fond of Tillerson that it awarded him the Order of Friendship decoration in 2012, one of the country's highest civilian honors.
Exxon is in some trouble with state attorneys general in New York, Massachusetts and others for misleading investors about the long-term impact of climate change on its business, reports Bloomberg, as well as the value of its reserves following a global price collapse.
In addition to Romney, former Central Intelligence Agency director David Petraeus, former Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton and a handful of others remain in the running for the post—the fourth in line for the presidency.

Wonder Woman is Bad like the Rest
June 5, 2017 June 5, 2017 Author by Samuel RussellPosted in Current Reviews
Wonder Woman was always doomed to be held by a different standard, viewed with unrealistic expectations, and to be burdened with perpetually mounting symbolic pressure. That's what happens when a male dominated industry collectively refuses to include women (both as leading characters and as creative leaders behind the camera) in spite of a constant high profile conversation surrounding the issue. After decades of false starts and development hell, Warner Brothers finally managed to bring Wonder Woman to the big screen, and they employed one of the many competent, talented film directors who happens to be a woman. Now that the film is out, progressive-minded people can let out a sigh of relief. If Wonder Woman flopped, it could have been a lightning rod for sexist criticism and a excuse for corporate fat cats to continue to neglect female characters, artists, and audiences when it comes to genre films. The reviews are good, the box office is full of sweet, sweet cash, and audience response is positive. And though we dodged that bullet (or rather deflected it with a metallic wristbands) it doesn't change what complete and utter bullshit it is that that response was a possibility; what unfair garbage it is that so much rode on the success of a singular film. Men constantly make shit movies without having to answer for their gender. Women should be allowed to make shit movies too. And they do. They did! Wonder Woman, although successful, is a bad movie.
The hero is introduced as a young girl on Themyscira, a remote island of immortal warrior women, isolated from the rest of humanity. We're fed exposition about Greek mythology at a leisurely pace in a wonderfully hokey sword-and-sandals genre setting. The most interesting action beat in the film comes when a WWI plane crashes through the invisible barrier to the outside world, followed by German troops who clash with the native Amazonians. The pulpy clash of period-military men and gladiator goddesses on a Mediterranean beach is a striking image. This is the last bit of joy I remember feeling while watching this movie. The comic booky fun drains from the film when Diana escorts Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) back to man's world to lend a hand with World War I, which she's sure is being caused by Ares, the god of war.
Once they cross over from the island to No Man's Land, the genre mashing ends. The film falls into step with the established style for DC films – grey, grim and grounded where it doesn't count. While the world is aesthetically "real,""dark," and "gritty," the story is bound by the thinnest logic. The characters act with little logical motivation and the two leads have little chemistry.
Gal Gadot gives the same plank of wood-esque performance she gave in the Fast and Furious movies. She has an undeniable presence of power. Her skill set is perfect for the Fast films, a series not so much about characters as it is about distinctive-looking fixtures of strength; looking cool while doing cool things. When it comes to interacting with her co-stars Gadot was less impressive. Her delivery often feels like a something Wonder Woman would say to a guest on an amusement park ride through a television screen. Like with most of these films, the central romance (between Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor) never feels like a genuine connection. It doesn't help that much of the film frames Diana as a naïve child being lead through the world by Steve. Not so much romantic as it is weirdly paternal.
They make their way through a needlessly convoluted plot that adds up to: going to a place to blow up a thing, and find a guy to kill. Steve and Diana are accompanied by a pointless gang of characters who have nothing to do. Wonder Woman beats up gang after gang of German soldiers before the pulpy comic book villain finally reveals himself to have a super powered slug fest. It's mostly the same as all the other super powered slug fests. Whatever.
Wonder Woman is a tedious 2 hours and 21 minutes. Why do these movies need to be so long? Seriously is there anyone asking for this? What is wrong with a 90 minute movie? Perhaps my attention span is shrinking but I don't think anything about this movie called for such an excessive runtime. Like the Suicide Squad and Batman v Superman, Wonder Woman is the logical next step in Warner Brothers' unstoppable barrage of disappointment.
I give Wonder Woman 4 gold lassos out of 10 period accurate WWI era German military helmets.
OTHE NOTES:
-Liza Friedman pointed out to me that Diana and Trevor go to sleep together…on a sailboat. Wouldn't they just drift away? Doesn't someone need to be actively sailing a boat like that to get anywhere?

In March of 1970, there was a total eclipse of the sun, visible in New England.
It was a beautiful Saturday, about noon, when my family went to the top of a hill for a good view. My mother told me that the moon was going to cover up the sun, and it would get dark. I found that hard to believe, and thought she might be wrong about this eclipse thing. She told me to be careful not to look directly at the sun during the eclipse, because the light was so strong it would hurt my eyes. How could that happen? It was so far away, how could it hurt me? I was a contrary child—at least in my thinking—but I did what she told me to do. I ran and played until it began to get dark, which happened very gradually. We watched the eclipse through a primitive pin-dot camera: holding a piece of paper or cardboard with a pinhole, the image of the eclipse was projected on another sheet below it. We also used a shoebox more or less the same way. The whole eclipse took a couple of hours. It was a strange and lonely experience. The birds stopped singing, and the day became silent, cold and dark.
Darkness is most often seen as a problem in our lives.
Barbara Brown Taylor, an Episcopal priest, professor and one of the best current writers about spirituality, has just published a book called Learning to Walk in the Dark. I heard an early reading of the book, and have been yearning to lay hands on a copy for a whole year. Barbara says that Christianity has very little use for the dark—it is a shorthand symbol for sin, spiritual blindness, ignorance and death. There are churches that operate with what she calls a "full solar spirituality." What she means by that is that some church people have a sunny certainty that if something bad happens, all you have to do is pray and have faith, and God will fix it. Barbara says she would love to live in that world, but she doesn't. There have been times when whatever sadness fell upon her wasn't fixed by prayer and faith. As the trouble lasted, these well-meaning people began to back away. They either blamed her for lack of faith, or were unable to deal with this challenge to their certainty about how God works. Barbara says she is blessed with a lunar spirituality, one that experiences God in different ways over time. God's presence can be full, or a thin sickle rising, or completely dark. In her experience, and in mine, God is not only present in the dark, but sometimes the dark times bring you closer to God.
Learning to walk in the dark means drawing on your spiritual maturity.
Neither author refers to Jesus' death on the cross as a 'Sacrament of Defeat,' but I see a connection. In the language of the church, a sacrament is an "outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace." The sign of the cross offers us grace. It offers us hope. If it did not, then the Good Friday service would be a funeral worse than any other. But we do have hope that comes to us on this dark night of the soul.
Nobody goes looking for a dark night of the soul, it comes upon you. When I think about the darkest night of the soul, I think of the Holocaust: the genocide of six million Jews during World War II. That dark night doesn't feel as far away as it used to, because recent news reports are full of hostility and violence against Jews. There are stories of attempts to frighten whole Jewish communities. It is tragic that our holy scriptures, including the Gospel reading for Good Friday, may seem to condone this terrible persecution. Let me be clear: there is no justification for anti-Jewish hostility in our faith. The scriptures are not an indictment of all Jewish people of Jesus' time, and they are not talking about our Jewish brothers and sisters now. This hostility has to stop; it is un-Christian.
When the dark night of the soul descends, you have to ask yourself: what do you believe? I don't mean: what do you affirm intellectually? Not: what do you retain from Sunday school? Not: what is your religious doctrine? I mean 'believe' in the older sense, from the German root word: Beliebe, to belove. What do you 'belove?' What do you set your heart on? What do you give your heart to? What is the hope that gives meaning to your life?
God is present, even in the darkest places in our lives. God can reach you even if the opening in your heart is the size of a pinhole. God's grace in the light and in the dark will give you a hope which can never be eclipsed.

New plans for off-road busway route from Cambourne to Cambridge revealed
The Combined Authority's proposal appears to offer two potential options for entering the city

A new "preferred indicative route" for a proposed transport link between Cambourne and Cambridge has been released by the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority.
The Greater Cambridge Partnership has already proposed a route for a £160 million busway connecting the two areas, but following public criticism from the Combined Authority and its leader, the mayor James Palmer, those plans were put on pause earlier this year.
The purpose-built off-road busway route would also act as part of the first phase of the Combined Authority's Cambridgeshire Autonomous Metro plan, should the metro go ahead.
As a consequence, the Greater Cambridge Partnership's (GCP) project has to be compatible with the Combined Authority's future plans.
In the summer the mayor said he was "concerned that they [the GCP] are going to spend an awful lot of money creating something that I am going to have to dig up in about three years' time and redirect".

"Route will require considerable further exploratory work"
The GCP, which is legally obliged to comply with Combined Authority transport policies, paused its plans, which it said would make the expected 2024 completion date "unlikely to be achieved", and said it would wait for the Combined Authority's "alternative route alignment".
The Combined Authority has now for the first time revealed a potential alternative route, which will be discussed at its transport committee on November 4.
A map released by the authority shows "indicative northern route corridor options".
The map of the indicative route shows it running north of the A428 instead of south.

The GCP's route comes into west Cambridge between Coton and the A1303. Whereas, The Combined Authority's proposal appears to offer two potential options for entering the city.
Option one is following the A428 further east than the GCP proposed to do, and then turning south, passing north of the American Military Cemetery.
The other possible approach to the west of Cambridge appears to be an underground option.
Proximity to Coton and the subsequent opposition by residents has been a prominent issue for the GCP's scheme, something the Combined Authority's proposal appears to avoid.
The GCP's proposal is considerably further along in terms of planning than the Combined Authority's. The GCP has completed a public consultation, narrowed down different options and put forward a preferred route.
At this stage, the Combined Authority's proposal is only indicative, meaning no exact or specific route has been proposed.

A Combined Authority report says: "This is a proposal for an alternative route which will require considerable further exploratory work and consultation with the public before the route can be approved. It is provided to give some transparency on the discussions between the CPCA and the GCP."
The report also says the GCP has "raised some initial concerns and asked for further investigations on the additional cost of a northern alignment, an assessment of the impact on the environment and the potential construction complexity and risk associated with the preferred corridor".
In response to the GCP's concerns, the Combined Authority said it "will continue to explore other potential options to the north of the A428 in seeking to overcome the initial concerns raised by the GCP officers".
Mr Palmer said presenting indicative options is the first stage in a longer process of deciding on the best route, and stressed these are "potential routes" and "no decisions have been taken".
"We have put forward potential routes for the alignment of the northern route to west Cambridge, but we are not at the decision-making position yet, and we will make sure that at all times we consult with local stakeholders," he said.

Home Blog In which career can you make the most difference?
Previously, we introduced a way to assess career opportunities in terms of their potential for positive impact, but which careers actually do best on these criteria? In this post, we'll apply an adapted version of this framework to some career paths that seem particularly promising for recent graduates. Using what we've learned over the past two years of research and from coaching over 100 people, we'll provide a ranked list of options.
If you're looking to build career capital, consider entrepreneurship, consulting or an economics PhD.
If you're looking to pursue earning to give, consider high-end finance, tech entrepreneurship, law, consulting and medicine. These careers are all high-earning in part due to being highly demanding. Our impression is that software engineering, being an actuary and dentistry are somewhat less demanding but also highly paid.
If you'd like to make an impact more directly, consider party politics, founding effective non-profits, working inside international organisations, government or foundations to improve them, and doing valuable academic research.
If you'd like to advocate for effective causes, consider party politics, journalism, and working in international organisations, policy-oriented civil service or foundations.
Some career paths that look promising overall are: tech entrepreneurship, consulting, party politics, founding effective non-profits and working in international organisations.
Some paths we think are promising but are largely neglected by our members and would like to learn more about are: party politics, working in international organisations, being a program manager at a foundation, journalism, policy-oriented civil service and marketing.
Of course, a ranking of career paths has significant limitations. The career in which you can have the most social impact depends in large part on which careers you'll be good at. On the other hand, we think there are some useful things to be said about which careers are promising in general, which we explain below.
Nevertheless, if there's a career path you think you can excel on, take it very seriously even if it's lower in the rankings. Equally, don't feel bad about dismissing one if you think you'd be bad on it. Either way, watch out: in our experience people often overestimate their current chances of success in difficult paths, but they underestimate their potential to grow, learn new skills and transform the set of opportunities open to them in the future. You can learn a lot in just a couple of years if you really try!
Another limitation is the diversity of career opportunities. Many do not fit neatly into a widely applicable category. There are also substantial differences within each category. We, however, have focused on broad options that are widely known and have come up in our coaching. There are other options, which we haven't yet assessed, so just because an option isn't on this list, doesn't mean it's not promising. Consider what other options might be open to you by asking around your network for jobs, speaking with interesting organisations and keeping your eyes open for opportunities. This list is just a starting point and it's still important to make an individual assessment of your unique options. If you would like individualised help choosing your career, consider our one-on-one coaching.
Finally, we'd like to stress that the assessments this list is based on are just informed judgement calls. The answers can be controversial, and we expect them to change significantly as we learn more (the rating factors are also likely to change). We also don't present our full reasoning here. Nevertheless, you have to choose a career, so we think it's better to give you our best guesses and then revise them over time, than to wait until we have only solid results (a day which may never come), especially because we've had lots of requests to share our thinking. We plan to deepen our research on each option as they arise in our case studies.
Before we begin discussing which careers might be particularly promising, don't forget: you can make a huge difference in any career. Sometimes the best option won't be to pursue one of these jobs – it'll be to do something completely different and have a positive impact in a different way.
What factors did we use?
We chose factors that we think are: (i) important – play a significant role in determining your potential for social impact in the long-run, (ii) generalizable – can be applied to most careers, (iii) tractable – given what we currently know, it's possible to distinguish careers on these factors.
Career capital refers to the skills, connections and credentials you can gain from the specified career path, which help you to gain better opportunities for social impact in the future.
How impressive is having this career?
Do you gain qualifications that open doors to good options?
Do you build valuable, transferable skills, or are the skills narrower?
How influential are the people you'll meet?
Do you have control over how you spend your time?
This is how much potential you'll have to make an impact directly through the work you'll do, taking account of what would have happened otherwise.
How high-priority is the cause you'll be contributing to through your direct work?
How much potential to cause change does this career path seem to offer (e.g. budgets influenced, people reached)?
To what extent will your work in this field displace others from the field, versus expand the field? To what extent might you be able to 'pull the rope sideways' and bring about change that wouldn't have ordinarily happened?
Careers differ a large amount in earning potential, and since your donations can do a huge amount of good, this is also important to consider.
How high do the earnings go over time?
What are your chances of success? What are the typical dropout rates?
How quickly do you receive the earnings and do you have to pay for expensive training?
Often it seems possible to have more impact through promoting effective causes than through what you do directly. At the same time, careers seem to differ in their potential for advocacy, so we think this is another important factor to consider.
1. How influential are the people you'll meet on this career path?
2. How prestigious is this career?
3. How many people might you have a chance to meet? Will you have much free time?
How did we weight the factors?
The last three factors are proxies for your potential for immediate impact, which we weighted equally.
We think it's highly important to keep your options open and prioritise capacity-building early in your career, so we think career capital is comparably important to immediate impact, so weighted it 3 times greater than the other factors.
Who is the assessment applicable to?
We aimed to make the assessment useful to a typical user of 80,000 Hours: a motivated, altruistic graduate in their twenties. Moreover, we added the condition that 'they could plausibly get the career in the ranking given their current situation.' So, when we rate journalism higher than law, we mean: it seems like a better opportunity for a motivated, altruistic graduate in their twenties, who could plausibly get into either law or journalism.
What might be some of the most promising career paths for recent graduates? Here's a summary table. Later, we'll explain these options and our reasoning behind them in a little more depth.
Note that the numbers are just a relative ranking. '5' means 'very good relative to the other options', '3' means 'average', and '1' means 'unfavoured relative to the others on the list.' The numbers do not indicate any scale.
You can comment on the scores here.
Tech entrepreneurship involves founding new companies in the technology and biotechnology industries with the aim of achieving large-scale positive effects. You can enter this path straight from university if you can find co-founders and an idea, but people enter this path from many stages in their career. A highly useful first step is learning to program. It can also be useful to gain some general business experience, especially from working in a small company. After starting, many people aim to join an 'incubator, most famously, Ycombinator, before moving on to receive venture capital funding. Schemes like Entrepreneur First aim to help you before you even have an idea or co-founder. There can also be entrepreneurial opportunities within large companies ('intrapreneurship').
Tech entrepreneurship seems to be one of the highest-earning careers,1 offering great potential for earning to give. But it also offers far more leverage if a product that makes a big difference is developed. It gives excellent career capital, because you'll rapidly learn highly useful entrepreneurial skills, and starting a company looks impressive on your CV. It scores moderately on advocacy potential, because being a founder in the tech industry will let you meet entrepreneurial, influential people.
Entrepreneurship outside of technology also seems of high potential, but ranks lower in terms of expected earnings, usefulness of the skills and your chances of improving society with your products. We add 'aiming at large scale', because there are many entrepreneurs who aim only to set up small businesses like restaurants or shops – a substantially different type of opportunity.
If you're going to be working on the product side of things, being a great programmer, hacker or designer is what's needed. The business side requires salespeople with strong social skills, who are able to cut deals and persuade key stakeholders to back the venture. Early on, you'll need to be well rounded, since 2-3 people will do everything. Tech entrepreneurs strike us as smart and very gritty. You'll have to be able to work very hard, spend years living on little money and be able to deal with a high risk of failure. On the other hand, the work can be highly motivating, since you have a huge amount of autonomy and interesting, challenging work. For more, see our work on the predictors of success in entrepreneurship.

Management consultants provide advice to organisations to help improve performance. Consultants divide into two broad types: strategy and operations. Strategy consultants advise management teams on top-level decisions like how much to invest in research and development, how to structure the organisation and how to deal with competitive threats. Operations consulting is more about how to implement strategy, for instance; how to improve the efficiency of the recruitment process, or implement a new sales strategy. Consultants may also specialise in highly technical areas. The industry is divided into the 'Big 3' strategy consulting firms (McKinsey, Bain, BCG), the 'Big 4' professional services firms (PwC, Ernst & Young, Deloitte, KPMG) who do operations consulting (as well as auditing and accounting), and a large number of small 'boutique' companies, who often specialise in a particular type of situation or subject matter.
You start this career by joining a graduate scheme after graduating. Or you can join later after receiving a graduate degree, in particular an MBA. Some people work their way up consultancy to become a partner, but many aim to exit into high-level corporate jobs (e.g. CEO) or a wide variety of other options, including policy, non-profits, graduate study, asset management and start-ups.
The more important reason to do consultancy is career capital. It's a high status, impressive credential, especially if you consult for one of the Big 3, which shows you can work hard. You get intense training in general business skills, and experience of a wide range of organisations. Moreover, you interact with clients from the start, who tend to be senior people in government and business, and work with colleagues who will pursue a wide range of leadership roles in the future. The large consultancies promote themselves as passports to future careers, and provide services to help with this, such as an extensive alumni network and paying for your MBA.
We think consulting primarily makes an impact through earning to give, but consultants generally earn less than people in finance at each stage in their career, so we rate it lower for earning potential.
If you're interested, you could also consider careers in accountancy (e.g. at the Big 4 professional services firms), though they generally seem lower-paid than strategy consultants at each level and the career capital is less useful.
We think it suits someone with a well-rounded profile of good analytical skills, social skills and the ability to work hard. Compared to the other careers in the list, the verbal and social skills seem particularly important since you need to interact with and persuade clients from the start. Consultants also have to travel extensively, since they generally work where their client is based, which some people find very tiresome. The work is probably more interesting than many other corporate jobs, including the early years of finance, because it involves more problem solving and variety.

* The Vault Guide to Consulting is a good guide on how to get in. The case interview is a particularly significant part of the selection process, and you can find out more about that here and on the consultancy company websites.
* All our resources on Consulting.
Party politics means joining a party with the aim of being elected to office. Careers in this path often start by becoming an advisor or researcher for a politician, then seeking to rise up the party ranks. You could also start your career as a journalist or lawyer, though it's more common in the UK to be a career politician.
We suspect there are other highly promising roles within politics, the civil service and international organisations, as highlighted below, but we guess that party politics is the best.
We haven't done research into the US political system, so this section is primarily about the UK. Our impression of the US is that it's much more normal to start your career in some other area, and then move into running for office later. We suspect it would also be a highly promising option.
Being elected is an opportunity for huge leverage over the government budget, regulation and the space of ideas. Of course, most people have a very small chance of making it. Nevertheless, our impression is that the chance is large enough that it's still a highly influential path in expectation, at least for certain types of people. Our main uncertainty is that we're not sure how much better you can be, compared to the people who already go into politics.
We also rate it a bit lower for career capital, because we're not sure how useful the early years of politics are for building up your general skills and CV. There's a risk that the career capital is mainly only relevant to political and policy careers, so if your political career fails (which seems likely), then you might not be left in a great position. However, you'll still have good options within think-tanks and other government organisations.
Politics requires really strong social skills – you have to talk to huge numbers of people and get them behind you. There's a strong correlation between success in this field and graduating from Oxford or Cambridge, studying PPE at Oxford, and being successful in student politics, though it's unclear how much of this is causal and how much is due to the most motivated people picking these paths. You'll need to be comfortable with having your personal life in the limelight and staying committed to your values in the face of tough political trade-offs.
* Coachees interested in politics have recommended reading of Parliamentary Affairs, talking to people in the field, and reading biographies of politicians to learn more about what it's like and how to succeed. (Also, as some insiders have recommended(!), watching The West Wing and The Thick of It).
Founding effective non-profits means starting new organisations with the explicit aim of addressing a high-priority cause in an effective way. Generally, this career path requires several years' experience within a cause, and within the non-profit sector or corporate sector before starting your own project.
Setting up a new organisation is an opportunity for huge leverage. If you can set up the non-profit in an effective area, then you can contribute to a top cause. Moreover, many effective causes seem somewhat constrained by entrepreneurial talent (e.g. there seems to be a shortage of people able to implement the interventions that have been proven effective in the academic development literature). Our main doubts are that we're unsure about typical chances of success and setting up a new organisation generally involves compromising your flexibility to switch cause, which we think is important.
Turning to the other factors, being entrepreneurial in the social sector seems to give you good potential for advocacy. On the other hand, the earnings are usually terrible! As with tech entrepreneurship, it's a strong option for career capital, because it's impressive and teaches you highly useful entrepreneurial skills. It can also build your network within an important cause. We don't give it a '5' in this field however, because our impression is that it's harder to start a significant non-profit than a for-profit, so you have to spend more years building up to being a founder. For instance, for-profit start-ups have a large ecosystem of incubators to support entrepreneurs, but the same does not exist for non-profits.
Similar to tech entrepreneurship above, although tech skills are less important in this career choice. Instead, it's important to have a deep understanding of the relevant cause.
All our resources on founding effective non-profits.
Finance means working in the financial industry, which allocates capital across the economy. In particular, we mean jobs in 'high finance', like investment banking, asset management and private equity. Careers in this path generally start by joining a graduate scheme after university as an 'analyst' (especially in investment banking), and then working up the roles in the face of high attrition. You have a second chance to enter investment banking as an 'associate' after working for several years and doing an MBA. The most common entry route is through investment banking, which leads into other roles in asset management and private equity, but you can also enter these roles directly.
Finance is also good for career capital, because several years in finance is a strong signal of ability and work ethic. You receive intense corporate training, and you develop a network of wealthy and influential people.
Within finance, we think asset management (including hedge funds, mutual funds, private equity and VC) is the best path, since it seems to offer higher average pay, more interesting work and better hours, though it's also more competitive. If you have strong mathematical skills, then the quantitative trading firms like D.E. Shaw and Jane St. seem particularly attractive.
Finance generally requires a degree from a top university and a rounded profile of abilities. The 'deal making' tracks in investment banking and private equity require more social and sales skills, whereas the asset management and research tracks require more analytical skills. There are also roles which require strong quantitative skills, which are often especially well-paid. You need to be very hard working, able to cope with pressure and get by without much sleep. In the early stages, the work seems relatively uninteresting (lots of preparing of Powerpoint documents and financial models) but you gain autonomy and more challenging work later.
This means pursuing work at organisations like the World Bank, World Health Organisation, International Monetary Fund and United Nations. It can be possible to enter these organisations directly from graduate studies (ideally in a relevant area), but it seems much more common to start by building a career elsewhere since these positions are highly competitive. A few common paths include: (i) the world of think-tanks and policy-oriented civil service, (ii) consultancy and MBAs, (iii) non-profit management, (iv) economics academia, focusing on a high priority area. Which of these is best depends on which international organisation you're aiming at, and what types of positions you're aiming for.
These positions may offer the opportunity to influence substantial budgets, since these organisations govern huge pools of aid money and international regulation. Typically in these organisations the average budget per employee is on the order of US$1m.2 We're highly uncertain about the expected size of the influence, and how much the effectiveness of the spending can be improved.
This career path is of a similar type to foundation program management and policy-oriented civil service, as described below. Compared to those, it seems more competitive, but this may be offset by greater focus on high-priority areas and a better network.
These organisations are highly influential over important global challenges, so you'll be working with highly influential people, which increases our assessment of advocacy potential and career capital. We also rate the career capital highly, since these positions are highly prestigious.
It seems to require a well-rounded profile: good social skills, analytical skills and high motivation. Some roles are more tilted towards research, whereas others are more about management and negotiation. You'll also need to be comfortable working in a large, and potentially bureaucratic organisation.
'Valuable academic research' means a position in a university to carry out research within high-priority causes. Careers in this field start by doing a PhD, and then working your way up to tenured professor. In addition to the research itself, some academics become public intellectuals or become involved in policy.
Research has the potential to create a huge amount of value, and progress often seems constrained by a lack of good researchers. If you might be a good fit for research, then you could make a big contribution. One disadvantage, however, is that it's difficult to radically change your cause within an academic career, which we think is important, although this varies from field to field: social scientists seem to have a fairly large degree of flexibility, whereas lab scientists are relatively constrained to their particular area. In addition, some academic fields have become highly competitive, reducing chances of success. Academic positions have credibility and you have a lot of flexibility in how you spend your time, especially after securing tenure, which can also be good for advocacy. In particular, you may have the opportunity to join grant committees, and influence large amounts of academic funding.
Career capital depends on the field. Quantitative, scientific subjects and economics can open up opportunities in industry and entrepreneurship. Subjects with policy relevance, like economics, also open up government positions. Overall, however, we don't rank it at the top, because the training process takes a long time, it's highly competitive, and the training mainly prepares you for careers within academia, rather than developing a broad network and portfolio of skills.
IQ seems more important in research than in the other options on the list. It's also highly important to be able to develop strong motivation for your subject, because the field is competitive, failure is common, and it'll mainly be down to you to choose projects and make grant applications. The lifestyle can be good, with high autonomy, interesting work and shorter hours than the other careers, but it depends on the subject and stage of your career. Pre-tenure, hours are often very long. Lab science is notorious for needing very long hours early in your career.

Studying a doctorate in economics. This is not a full career path (it's part of the 'valuable academic research' path), but doing a PhD is a significant step that often shows up in our discussions independently of going into academia, so we decided to include it separately on the list. We highlight economics because it seems like the most promising PhD subject for the goals in question, for the reasons given below. We also think, however, that many other PhDs can be a great step, especially in subjects like applied mathematics, statistics and computer science.
This option is mainly about gaining career capital. An Economics PhD gives good job prospects. In particular, it opens the door to economics academia, which seems a particularly high-potential area of academia, and can lead to careers in policy, foundations and some parts of finance for earning to give. You can find an overview of the arguments in favour here.
Similar to academic research above. Also note that economics requires strong mathematical skills, but it's possible to enter without having studied economics at undergraduate (perhaps through a one year conversion course). Find more information on how to be admitted here.

Software engineers design, develop and maintain software. This career path generally involves learning to program (either by yourself, at university, in a company, or through one of the increasing numbers of training academies), and then joining a software company and working your way up in seniority. Learning to program is also a good first step into the world of tech entrepreneurship and is sought after in academic research, or can be pursued freelance alongside other projects.
You can often enter a moderately well-paid job in software after just a year or so of learning to program. Salaries can rise rapidly to around US$100,000 per year in the first couple of years, and up to $200,000 in top tech companies, but they generally level out faster than in consulting or law, except for a small number of star or entrepreneurial engineers. Overall, the career is good for earning to give.
Software engineers can also make some direct contributions to innovation and economic productivity, especially if working for a good company. Advocacy potential is moderately good because you can be involved in the influential and innovative tech community.
Career capital is moderate, since these jobs mainly establish your credibility in the tech industry. On the other hand, programming and data analysis skills are widely in demand, so we mark it up for this.
This is a good career for people with an analytical side. There's some evidence to suggest that the distribution of programming talent divides into two halves: those who find it relatively easy and those who don't. So, it's a priority in this career to find out which group you fall into. Fortunately, you can test this relatively quickly by trying a couple of free online programming courses and seeing whether you enjoy it. If you make it in, the lifestyle seems good. The work can involve solving interesting puzzles in innovative companies, the hours are reasonable, and it's comparatively easy to find opportunities to work remotely or part-time.

By 'medicine' we mean studying a medical degree, and then working as a doctor in a hospital or other healthcare setting, potentially also including participating in medical research and consultancy.
Medicine is a high-earning career – potentially the top earning option for people who don't want to enter finance or entrepreneurship (especially in the US, where salaries are about 30% higher than in other developed world countries). Although lower-earning than finance, the chances of dropping out are much lower once you've made it into medical school. This means you can contribute through earning to give. We don't think doctors make a large direct contribution through their hospital work, though they have the option to get involved in medical research, innovation in the medical system and public health, which can all be high leverage opportunities. We rate it moderately for advocacy potential, since it's a highly respected career in which you can meet lots of people.
Medicine is a highly valuable qualification, since it gives you a lot of good options (being a doctor, research, public health, biotech industry). However, it's expensive (the average debt is $170,000 on graduation in the US) and takes 5-6 years, so we only rate it moderately for career capital.
Note that there are many other healthcare careers that offer lower but still very good pay, where demand is growing fast, training is cheaper and the hours are better than medicine. This includes careers like pharmacy, audiology, occupational therapy and dentistry (almost as high-earning as medicine). These could be good alternative options for earning to give.
Medicine is good for scientifically inclined people who don't want to enter finance or tech entrepreneurship. It's also less risky, so good if you want a safer choice. The work seems interesting and varied. On the other hand, it generally requires very long hours, with some variation depending on your speciality.

This is a bit of a catch-all category, but we wanted to highlight that one approach to finding a good career is seeking out outstanding, effective organisations and taking a job with them.
Many people can have a large impact by identifying a great, socially-oriented organisation and taking a job where they have a strong comparative advantage. For instance, we've highlighted GiveWell and the Copenhangen Consensus as potential opportunities in this category. Note that it seems there are often important contributions to be made in unglamorous roles, which improve the effectiveness of the rest of the team.
Otherwise, we rate this moderately for career capital and advocacy potential, but much will depend on the organisation. We rate it low for donations potential, because typically these jobs are in the non-profit or public sector, so have they lower salaries.
This depends entirely on the type of job.
You can see all our content on relevant organisations here. Also see the section on foundations below.
You could also consider organisations that are backed by impact-oriented funders (e.g. those backed by the Gates Foundation).
Working in a philanthropic foundation to distribute grant funds. Typically you start these careers by training in project management in a non-profit organisation, doing consultancy or working in think-tanks. MBAs can be useful. You also often need a Master's degree and subject area expertise. Then you join as a program manager, and work your way up the ranks.
This path is similar to policy-oriented civil service work and working in international organisations, and there's considerable switching between the two, so you may also want to consider them as well.
This career may offer significant potential to influence spending, since in many foundations, small teams allocate large pools of funding, often with considerable flexibility, and these jobs seem attainable. How much influence you have, however, will depend on the foundation, since some are highly constrained by their mandate. We don't yet have a good picture of the typical scale of the opportunities. In addition, this is only an opportunity to do good if you can significantly improve the allocation of funds, and we're not sure how large the room for improvement typically is. We also rate this career '4' for advocacy potential, since awarding funds in a foundation could offer broader influence over the non-profit sector.
We rate it relatively low for career capital, because although the connections could be good (especially in the non-profit sector), it's less clear that the skills and credentials are highly useful outside of foundations.
Some foundations that stand out are: the Arnold Foundation, a $4bn which is new and has an open-minded, ambitious effective altruist approach, potentially offering a significant opportunity to help shape their agenda; the Gates Foundation since it's an extremely influential leader in evidence-based philanthropy; Good Ventures, which works very closely with GiveWell; and CIFF a $3bn evidence-driven global poverty foundation. In addition, you could seek to work at other large foundations to promote a more impact and evidence driven approach to giving from inside. See here for a list of the top US foundations. Focus on those that are open to funding a wide range of causes.
It seems to require a rounded skillset. Since the impact depends on being able to improve practices within the foundation world, it also requires good persuasion skills and deep subject knowledge.

Journalists work in the media to spread and analyse news and information. This career path involves joining a graduate scheme after university (perhaps after studying a Master's in journalism, and doing internships and building experience in related areas), then aiming to work up the ranks in seniority, for instance to editor of a major newspaper. Many people also enter journalism after establishing themselves in another field, like politics or academia.
Journalists have a very strong platform for spreading important ideas, both through the stories they write and the influential people they meet. If used to promote effective causes, this can be enormously impactful. We don't rate it more highly, however, because it seems like an extremely competitive career. Many people want to be journalists, while demand is falling due to the rise of online media.
We don't rate it highly for career capital, because the skills don't seem broadly applicable to many other fields, and because it's highly competitive. Salaries are usually relatively low, so we put donation potential at '1'.
Journalism requires strong verbal abilities and writing skills. Due to its competitiveness, it also requires grit. You can test out your potential by getting involved in student journalism and attempting to secure internships.
By 'Civil Service' we mean seeking jobs in administration within the government, and working your way up the ranks. Note that it's becoming more and more common to switch in and out of the civil service at different stages of your career – going between the Civil Service and think-tanks, international organisations, academia or the corporate sector. We add the qualifier 'policy-oriented' because many civil servants focus on providing services, which seems to offer less opportunity for impact than those who focus on developing and implementing policy. Many countries have career paths with accelerated promotion and training (e.g. the Fast Stream in the UK), which seem to offer much better career capital and influence.
This is a fairly similar type of path to working in international organisations and foundations, so you may also want to consider them.
In the Civil Service, you have scope for direct impact through improving the development and implementation of policy. Although your influence might be slight, the scale is very large, so your overall impact has the potential to be large. On the other hand, we're very uncertain about this path, for instance, we don't know how much scope for improvement there is in policy-setting. Overall, we prefer party politics, because the influence seems much larger and more flexible. While there are thousands of party politicians in the UK, there are almost half a million civil servants. Even subtracting the majority, who are not substantially involved in policy, party politics seems to come out better for influence.
To maximise your impact within this path, seek out departments that are involved with the causes you think are most high-priority. For instance, if you want to work on development in the UK, aim at DfiD. Some departments may also offer significantly more scope for influence than others, for instance the grant-writing agencies are unglamorous but offer influence over large budgets; however, we don't yet have much information about the differences between agencies.
Salaries are not great – comparable or only slightly better than academic salaries, but worse than corporate salaries. On the other hand, advocacy potential seems high since you can meet policy-makers.
Career capital strikes us as worse than comparable jobs in the corporate sector, since Civil Service jobs are less respected in the corporate sector, the work is less intense and progression seems slow. Accelerator schemes, like the Fast Stream, however, are substantially different. They raise you into management roles in just a few years and are fairly prestigious.
We think it's probably similar to the foundation manager job, though the higher responsibility positions (e.g. in accelerator schemes) will require better social skills, since you'll be managing a lot of people, and the ability to make decisions under pressure. How stimulating the work is varies depending on your project and department. Hours seem better than in the corporate sector, but some complain about a slower pace and more bureaucracy.
By Law we mean studying for a law degree and then practicing law in the US as an attorney, counsel or solicitor, or in the UK as a barrister or solicitor. In particular, we mean 'high end law', since there are really two law job markets.
A law degree provides reasonable career capital, since it's an impressive qualification, it helps with entering policy careers and it allows you to practice law for earning to give. Nevertheless, law degrees are expensive and competitive, and since the skills seem less generally useful, we rank law lower than finance.
Law is often among the most high-earning options for people with strong verbal abilities, but relatively weaker numerical ability. As with many of these careers, you'll need to be prepared to work very long hours. The work seems less interesting and to cause higher stress than in some other careers, reflected in higher rates of depression among lawyers.
Sales and marketing refers to a group of roles in the corporate sector, involving understanding the desires of customers, advertising and selling. The career path could involve entering a sales or marketing job after university (there are many marketing graduate schemes), and then aiming to rise up the corporate ladder, either to a VP of Sales or other management role.
Note that people considering this path also often consider working in public relations, which also offers many graduates schemes, and can be preparation for journalism or political work.
This seems like a good option for career capital. 'Sales' meant broadly as persuading people to exchange goods, is a highly important skill in many of the other careers listed. You could use corporate sales experience to transfer into the non-profit sector, get involved in entrepreneurship, or work up the ranks of the higher-paying corporate jobs.
Sales jobs can be fairly well-paid, especially if you're good at them, since the pay is often performance-based. The vital importance of sales and marketing to most companies means that sales and marketing is one of the highest-paid corporate positions (e.g. see here, though note the problems with these kinds of rankings), and it's one route into the top corporate management positions. So this path could also be used for earning to give.
Within this path, working in small companies can lead to better skill-development and higher chances of promotion, whereas working in larger companies offers more widely recognisable credentials.
Sales jobs require people with good social skills who can handle rejection (which means high levels of optimism and grit). Sales work is potentially engaging due to rapid feedback on how you're doing. Otherwise, we guess much depends on the company you're working in.
Dan Pink's To Sell Is Human argues that soft sales skills are very widely applicable and becoming increasingly important. He also outlines the scientific research about how to become better at selling.
How might you apply this list to your own situation?
1) Use the list to generate some initial ideas. Consider careers you think you could plausibly do well in.
2) Add extra ideas that you've come across or are unique to your situation.
3) Narrow down the careers using these criteria, but adapt the results to your own situation. For instance, if you love programming, then you might increase your expected direct impact, career capital and earnings potential in software and tech entrepreneurship.
Fit: What are you chances of excelling in this career? If you can excel in a career, that dramatically increases your potential to contribute and gain career capital.
Discovery value: (AKA value of information): If you embark on this career path, how much will you learn about which career paths are best for you, and which opportunities are best for making an impact?
Corruption risk: What are the chances of losing your altruistic motivation if you embark on this path?
Job satisfaction: Do I think the work will be engaging? Will you be able to maintain good relationships at work? Does this career use your strengths? Do you have the chance to excel?
Fit with rest of life: To what extent will this career allow you to flourish in the rest of your life? For instance, will you be able to maintain good relationships with your family and friends, will you be able to support your family?
Do you know a good resource for one or more of these careers? Do you disagree with one of our scores? Would you like to propose a career we've overlooked? Please leave your ideas in the comments!

We developed the factors using the process described at the start of the post. We generated options from our experience in coaching, picking the options that come up most commonly in graduate career choice and seem particularly promising. Note that if there were two similar options but one seemed better, we tended just to include the better one, although we tried to mention the other similar options where possible, e.g. tech entrepreneurship but not general entrepreneurship, consulting but not professional services.
We rated the options according to the factors using our judgement and we picked the top sixteen. We sought feedback on our reasoning from several research volunteers. Sketches of the reasoning for each option are provided in the body of the post. Some career options mentioned above, which we considered as major options in their own right but didn't make it into the list were: working in a small company, teaching, dentistry, pharmacy and high-paying trades.
Some other options we're thinking about but didn't have space to consider: think-tanks, the executive track at a large company, being a philanthropic adviser, non-profit consulting, working at a large non-profit, data analysis, being an academic grant-writer, entrepreneurship outside of technology, being an actuary, and headhunting or executive search.

Hey, I'm Natalie!
A couple of years ago I had a crazy idea that turned into a real thing. I became a Marriage Celebrant and began a new journey celebrating love stories with others! The Celebrant Co was born from my desire to serve my community in a positive, conscientious and purposeful manner.
My job is to guide you through the legal process of getting married, help create a ceremony which is special to you, encourage you to feel relaxed and comfortable and deliver a ceremony which you'll remember for a lifetime.
A collaborative approach centred on genuine relationships and mutual connections means we can share your love in an honest, authentic and meaningful way and create the perfect ceremony together.
My style of ceremonies are light, modern and heartfelt, designed to capture your unique personalities, life together and the love you have for each other. Ceremony content is based on core values, using a story telling narrative to reflect your experiences together. Essentially it will look, sound and feel like you and be conveyed in a way that you and your guests feel connected to.
I specialise in premium wedding ceremonies and elopements but also perform legals only and commitment ceremonies. Here's a run down of each.
Premium ceremony
This is the most popular, comprehensive and flexible ceremony option. These styles of ceremonies are light, modern and heartfelt, designed to capture all the details of your personality, your life together and the love you have for each other. The script is completely unique and hand written for you. Each ceremony requires about 20 hours of work behind the scenes including ongoing communication, meetings, administrative work, ceremony drafting, and travelling to and from your ceremony so your ceremony is delivered seamlessly on your day.
Elopement ceremony
Perfect for those who want to get hitched in front of their nearest and dearest in an intimate ceremony. It's a warm, personal, simple and short ceremony with all the legals and some personalisation to you to make it yours.
Legals only ceremony
This covers the legal minimums required to be married in Australia. It is a short, no fuss, generic ceremony which will have you ready to pop a champagne and celebrate in no time. Script
personalisation is not available beyond legal minima. The benefit of this compared to the Registry Office is that you get your Celebrant and ceremony location of choice. It's a much
sexier option!
For those who don't want to be legally married but still feel the love and want to make a commitment to each other. A warm, personal, simple and short public declaration of love and commitment, in a non-legally binding ceremony.
Love is love, I hold progressive views on marriage equality and fully support same sex marriage. It's been a pleasure to FINALLY marry couples in a fully inclusive and equal capacity.
While I'm based in Brisbane I perform ceremonies throughout the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast and Darling Downs regions.
If this sounds like something you're interested in, get in touch so we can start making your day unforgettable!
In the spirit of reconciliation The Celebrant Co acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
