Me personally, I pitched a startup to a VC who got rich from technical training. I sold the startup, did nothing for a while. He needed someone to tour the country for government sponsored training to educational institutions, which most of the part time trainers couldn't do. The pay is terrible IMO - an hour of training might require 1-3 hours of preparation. Untrained people usually earn less than you and can't afford much. So you end up working about 3 hours for the pay of one, plus travel costs and often late payments. It's just so much more profitable to write code. But I think a trainer should spend 20% of their time training max, and the rest should be doing the work they're teaching. tl;dr: know people who run training companies
