I find this is a very interesting topic! Myself, I've been thinking of becoming a life coach due to my experience in various fields of life and my upbeat as well as somewhat unconventional attitude. Pippi Longstocking, anyone? However, I reckon the life coaching industry is rife with all kinds of less-than-savory characters, only interested in making as much money as possible. Don't get me wrong, making money certainly is a major plus when working, but I was referring to people who take advantage of people's distress in order to become wealthy. Nonetheless, I'm not going to become a life coach yet (I'll go to study Youth and Leisure Instruction, which probably gives me a good base of empowering people). I'm also definitely not opposed seeing a life coach myself, in case they're someone I genuinely click with. I tried to book an appointment with one, but she is so busy I'd need to wait my appointment for months. Luckily I have her free blog updates! In a nutshell: listen to your gut feeling and, in case you resonate with life coaching, do not hesitate to go ahead. However, please also keep in mind YOU are the client and YOU deserve to be served as best as possible. There are also significant differences between different coaches, so do your research carefully. Good luck and best wishes!
