Absolutely! You can compare courses across different categories (IT, Business, Healthcare, etc.). This is useful if you're exploring different career paths or considering career changes. The comparison helps you understand trade-offs between different fields.
What does "Best for ROI" recommendation mean?
ROI (Return on Investment) compares the starting salary potential against total course fees. The course with the highest salary-to-cost ratio is recommended as "Best for ROI".
