Benjamin Todd

Benjamin Todd is the co-founder and president of 80,000 Hours. He first became interested in the failings of mainstream career guidance as a student when trying to figure out what to do with his own career. This led him to start 80,000 Hours, a non-profit focused on helping people find careers that make the world better. Today, 80,000 Hours is one of the world’s most trusted sources of career advice – its website receives 2 million readers each year, it has given one-on-one guidance to over 5,000 people leading thousands of people to change their career, and its work has been featured in publications such as TIME, Vox and the Wall Street Journal. Benjamin has a Master’s degree in Physics and Philosophy from Oxford, and speaks Chinese, badly.
