Consulting can be a lucrative business and requires a solid foundation of skills and competence. It's no place for wannabe's and charlatans. In return for the large paycheck, consultants have an ethical responsibility to work hard and a legal one to represent themselves honestly. Often, lives depend on the consultant's ability to analyze or improvise safely under adverse and threatening conditions.

Consulting can be about anything. Among the common consulting gigs are film crewing, expert witnessing, adventure tourism management, and military training. This article focuses on the first two. For more information on Going Pro, see other articles in the series.

Specialty Crewing

Crewing on a movie set is good money. Specialty skills such as rigging at exposed edges and high angles, swiftwater safety, and choreographing and protecting stuntwork can easily bring in 300 to 400 dollars per day or more plus expenses. Sometimes the expert is incorporated into the cast, often as a stunt person or with a minor speaking role. Typically these jobs last less than a week but ocassionally more than a month and possibly, in the case of a successful series, months or years.
