More and more people are becoming “life coaches,” according to a recent newspaper report, and many colleges now offer degrees in life coaching.

It appears that a degree in life coaching pays better than a degree in a results-oriented field such as engineering, computer programming or foreign language. Life coaches right out of school can charge anywhere from $25 to $75 an hour.

I’d prefer to be paid $75 an hour, if you don’t mind. But, then, I don’t have a college degree in life coaching. I’m just a guy who’s gone through life without any coaching – except from my family, my friends, my teachers, my football coach, my pastors, my co-workers and my bosses. What do I know about life? My advice would be worth absolutely nothing per hour because I didn’t go to college and get a degree in life coaching.
