Major clubs have some certain standards, such as gold in moves and Junior in freestyle, as requirement to be able to teach there, similar to college degree to work in a company. Once you get the feet at the door, it's all depend on your ability to grab the opportunity.
I see coaches who have a few years experience work hard and are successful here, and I also see a young lady determined to make her coaching career work and succeed. I also see hard working coaches who speak limited English make great success at teaching too.
New collage graduades don't make 70K right away, same thing in the coaching business. Once you learn how to handle things, it's can make a good life out of it.
