In Reply To: Dear In: You want to think very carefully before you sign up with the folks who charge beaucoup bucks - yes, $1000s -that must be paid UPFRONT. "What Color Is Yr Parachute?" has a what to stay away from section in the back that will guide you. Career coaches and counselors don't make you prepay for the whole program. It's usually a month in advance with refund cheerfully given if you're not satisfied. Jane
Message: Thanks for the feedback. I met with one of them today and they quoted me a fee of almost $11K, paid in full up front. It seems like an awful lot of $$ for some very vague assurances as to what they can actually deliver, and I have yet to meet or hear from anyone who has actually used them.
