A career manager/mentor would be something I, as someone retraining as a developer, would pay for. Somone knowledgeable about development who helps me find jobs that match my current abilities/interests , training to increase my abilities, selks me on my abilities to companies, and perhaps provides support for things like salary negotiations and benefits.
I suppose I could get some of that from a college, if I went back for a degree in CS, but it seems like school is disconnected from so many aspects of development and industry, the tools you learn are not the tools you use when working, and it is incredibly expensive with no guarantee. I want someone in tune with how things work in the real world to help me with my career, so I can focus on being good at the jobs I get, not at being good at getting jobs.
