How do I leverage my skills as a successful math tutor into a career that has more

growth and stability? I currently run a reasonably successful math tutoring business in New York City, but I have been thinking more long-term lately. I can make between $70,000 and $90,000 in a given year, but I have to pay my own health insurance, and have to work strange hours (3pm until 11pm Mon-Thurs and all day Sunday). I am a 24 year old male, and know that I make much more than many other people my age, but also know that there is limited growth potential, and can't see myself working as a math tutor much past my late 20's.

My question is, what types of more traditional careers seem to be good fits given my skill set:

- Strong quantitative reasoning
- Ability to make complicated ideas simple
- Entrepreneurial spirit and good at dealing with people

Don't get me wrong - I know that I have a successful venture going right now. However I am thinking long-term, and am looking for a career that allows for learning and growth, and doesn't come with the strange hours and instability that tutoring brings. It is one thing to deal with these issues as a 24 year old, but become much more of a problem when trying to start a family.

Thank you for your feedback.
