Be a college application consultant

Your background need not be education. You can be a former CIA agent, a Hollywood screenwriter, a radiologist. There are more than 2,000 people doing the job. And making a decent dollar. Ms Bayliss runs the four-day Application Boot Camp at a Boston-area hotel. It's only $16,000.

Or, you can charge $5,000 or more if you are a summer expert who helps a teenager “find his passion” and “architect a plan” that includes brand-building volunteer, educational, or work opportunities. 

In the Boston area, the average consulting package — which includes a college list, essay and interview prep, and organizational tools and general advice — costs about $4,800. But it’s possible to spend $80,000 or more for star consultants.
