Gotta be honest I've always felt like career coaches are kind of scammy. Unless you can find someone who has made the exact career switch that you are interested in I think they're just doing a cash grab... but maybe I'm just cynical

I don’t have any names, but I would say that getting a career coach can be a good way to get you in the right mind set and put you on a good path, however it isn’t any guarantee to get a job. I would just make sure anyone you come across has some decent qualifications.
