Isn't becoming an instructor just getting a job? > I repeat: if you're skilled enough to be reading HN, you have the kinds of skills that are tantamount to magic for others that don't have them.

The people willing to pay, whether they consider what they're buying "magic" or not, are usually going to find a lot of other people before they ever find you.
