[quote=Anonymous]Doing a quick google search for college advisors comes up with no less than 20 in the dc region.

Most seem to have worked in admissions at colleges or universities or were college counselors at schools.

While you may not think the connections are valuable, college counselors that have experience inthe field really know what all the schools are looking for, not just one. They also understand the process both when the application goes in and the decision making process that goes into looking at applications.

You are not really bringing and credentials to the table. Just being able to guide the process (not the hard  if you do some research) or a lower price does not make you valuable. Helping with essays can be good but so many people are out there that do this, you may have trouble attracting clients since you have no connections from past work at a school.

As someone suggested, you may want to start at a company that is already doing this to gain experience and find a niche that will make you valuable to an audeince willing yo hire you.
