[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I make $155/hr doing college admissions consulting in my spare time.[/quote]

Do you work in a related field for your day job?  If not, how did you get started in this?  I'm interested in doing something similar.[/quote]

Totally unrelated, I'm in corp strategy.

I started by volunteering as an alumnus interviewer for admissions. Just contact your alma mater. I did that for a few years then I aske for a leadership role in the alumni org and took on a bigger interaction with the admissions office. Not reading essays but just being more connected. Then I offered to read essays part time during peak app periods, they agreed and I did that for a few months. Then I got a graduate degree and basically ended up as an alumni interviewer again. By the point I had enough knowledge to be marketable. I work with another firm that sends me clients. I could make more by having my own business but this way I just sit back and let the work come to me. If suggest following a similar path, and look up AIGAC. Most of the people I know who do this are moms who quit the rat race. A lot of the top firms that run admissions work will work with you even if all you have is a top notch degree and some pedigree. One girl I know was at Bain for several years and then just decided the 80 hour work weeks weren't worth it. She now lives in Kauai....

If you want to talk offline happy to. [/quote]
