The Between $1,824 p/h and $350 p/h - Lawyers Have to Decide If Career Pivot to Psychic Services Is for Them

 When Delaware Law School Graduate Nikki Vasconez had been practicing law, she pulled down about $75k annually. Now, reports Abovethelaw, she is heading toward $170k a year. Her professional pivot has been into psychic services. As with all business, earnings are boosted if there is a specialization. Hers is telephatically communicating with animals. 

Vasconez bills at $350 p/h. Of course, that's small potatoes compared to what Big Law does. For instance, as Reuters Legal documents, there's the $1,824 p/h that Paul Weiss partner Kannon Shaumugan charges. Given that Paul Weiss Chairperson Brad Karp is a master at recruiting and retaining star lawyers (money talks) Shaumugan's take-home probably isn't too shabby either. 

But, as a psychic with a special area of expertise in careers, I can tell you: There is tremendous satisfaction in helping others navigate their confusion. My trusted tool is reading tarot cards. And, finally, our line of work is getting respect. The New York Times published a full-length feature in April 2021 on how to read the tarot.

Therefore, lawyers, if you are willing to not build massive wealth by practicing law in settings like Big Law where the bucks are, you might consider a pivot to psychic services. The field is wide open. An entrepreneurial type could develop caring services for end-of-life issues. 

So how to start? 

In the years I invested in learning my psychic sideline in Salem, Massachusetts, I was instructed over and over again that we are all psychic. How useful that ability is to us and to others depends on the ability to believe in and trust that unconscious or subsconscious form of knowing. 

Even the most open of us, though, when upset, can shut down that gateway to self-awareness and tuning into the universe. Last week I couldn't do a reading for an associate worried about job security because I had just quit a retainer agreement with a law firm. It took a few days to stop reeling.

Next is deciding whether to be a generalist or a specialist.

The generalist can just go out there, label services as "for entertainment only," and practice. Yeah, put up a website (but for establishing payment-processing services describe your enterprise as consulting). 

Many begin with pro-bono readings. Others are willing to earn peanuts with one of the psychic networks to gain experience. Then they can be hired at upscale venues such as Angelica of the Angels in Salem. And some who are especially gifted and understand how to market can kick it off charging three figures. 

The specialist, like myself, usually takes workshops. Not only do they provide training. You meet like-minded people. Also they can be a source of referrals. 

I have multiple sources of income so I can bill the tarot readings on a sliding scale. In addition, I provide pro-bono readings on the Arizona side of the Mexican border to those in recovery who are re-enteriing the workforce or school. 

Full Disclosure: I had been a 1L at Harvard Law School. Had I consulted with a psychic before applying I might not have taken that peculiar turn in the road. When I trusted my own intuition I left.
