Someone with your credentials is charging $2,500 a day to do it as a consultant. Same years. Same expertise. Same ability to walk into a room and move people. Districts are paying it. Without blinking.

You've watched colleagues make the jump. Some thrived. Some came back. The difference wasn't credentials, charisma, or luck. It was whether they had a real model for the transition.
