I paid $500 for a 'career accelerator' course that was just recycled blog posts
I saw an ad for this online program promising to help you get a promotion in three months. I signed up and paid the fee last spring. The first module was just a bunch of articles you could find for free, and the weekly coaching call was a pre-recorded video. After two months, I realized I'd learned nothing new and the 'network' was just a dead forum. Has anyone found a career course that was actually worth the money?

My own career accelerator was buying a failing pest control route.

Honestly that's a smart move because you're buying a problem someone else gave up on. The real value is in the customer list and the chance to fix what they hated. Tbh you could just call every house, ask why they were leaving, and fix that one thing. Maybe the last guy was always late or used a chemical they didn't like. Ngl turning around a known failure is way cheaper than starting from zero with no reputation.
