Career Path

```vbnet This code creates a Google Charts 3D Pie chart that displays the job market trends in the UK games industry. The chart shows the percentage distribution of popular roles, such as Game Designer, Software Developer, Quality Assurance Tester, Project Manager, Data Analyst, Marketing Specialist, and UX Designer. The chart is responsive, with a transparent background, and employs a 3D effect for a more engaging visual representation. The data table used in this chart is generated with the google.visualization.arrayToDataTable method, which accepts an array of arrays, where each sub-array is a row containing two elements: the role and the corresponding percentage. The chart options are set to customize the appearance, including setting the is3D option to true for a 3D effect, defining colors for the slices, and positioning the legend at the bottom. The resulting chart is rendered within the
element with the id 'chart_div', and its dimensions are set to occupy 100% of its parent container's width and 400px in height. The chart will adapt to different screen sizes due to the width being set to 100%. The Google Charts library is loaded using the provided script tag, with the correct URL and without extra spaces. ```
