[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I found that online classes to get trained in a new career has helped me. [/quote]

My background is in finance. My friends are now very senior. I will likely earn less than what I earned fresh out of grad school in investment banking.[/quote]

Is OP the one with the finance background? Because I was the one who posted about online classes.

Anyway I’m working on my certificate in college counseling! I wish I had known about this before sending my own to college. I’m enjoying it and I think there are people with 40 students at a time who are making a decent amount. Obviously not as much as the senior finance folks… but a couple of hundred thousand ain’t too shabby, if you have the bandwidth. Or do the certificate now, help your own kids with their college apps and start a business when you are an empty nester if you are bored at that point. My husband has noticed a difference in me — doing something with my brain has been life-changing for me. [/quote]

Are you saying you make 200k per year college counseling?[/quote]

LOL no…but in our classes or webinars I attend, people who have been doing this for longer say that you could add so many students and make an extra 100K or so. I used to be shocked but I think these are very experienced (or terrible!) consultants that have 40+ kids. The highest I heard was 75 kids — not necessarily seniors, just high schoolers. That IEC is now almost retired and down to 25. So 25 kids at $6K average….and this is someone who has cut down as she is in her 70s.[/quote]
