Agony aunt come in all shapes and sizes. I should know, I worked as an agony aunt for over thirty years. During that time I helped a lot of people, wrote articles for newspapers, was asked to appear on radio and television and often had to advertise for an agony aunt to work for me because I was so busy. I know that most of the people who claim to be an agony aunt are not. Many are frauds who are just trying to make some money in an easy and quick and fun way, others are desperate to make a few dollars and have no qualifications and skills. Others are eager to find an exciting life because they are bored and lonely or housebound so the idea of giving advice and being paid for it is very exciting to them and they are very limited in what they can do. Usually when I advertised for an agony aunt I got over a hundred people apply but rarely were any of them any good. There are qualifications and a good agony aunt will be properly qualified as well as having a lot of experience. The thing about a good agony aunt is that they have a lot of experience of life, they are good at making decisions and sorting out problems and have a lot of common sense. So you cannot go to a college or do a course in being sensible or having experience in life! I am retired now but like to pass people on to a reputable and good agony aunt. I get a lot of people write to me complaining because they have consulted one and it was no good and they are upset. Either because they had put all of their hopes in it or because of the cost. Nothing I can do. But I can point people towards one that is very good that they will be happy with. Unlike some other trades and professions you cannot become a trainee agony aunt and get paid to advise while you learn! Either you know what is needed and people will listen or they will not. They are not going to listen to an untrained or unskilled agony aunt, even if it is free of charge. This is why a lot of the so called agony aunt sites online do well. They give people with no training or skills in being an agony aunt the chance to advise others. I have looked at some of these sites frequented by lots of amateur agony aunt. And I have noticed they are very quick to advise on relationship stuff but very quiet about things where real knowledge that is black and white is needed. Go to this excellent agony aunt site and you will see what I mean. There are sections where amateur agony aunt can give advice. When faced with a legal or health problem they say nothing, when it is about a relationship they say lots. That is because you can guess what someone is thinking or feeling or what they will do, but you cannot guess facts. Another thing a proper agony aunt needs is the ability to put two and two together and be able to work out things from what is not said, and read between the lines and work out if the person is telling lies. In a way an agony aunt is a detective. For example if an old lady was asking for advice and saying she is housebound and has a lack of money and is lonely it would be daft to advise her to go to a club or go on holiday when she cannot leave the house and cannot afford it. Go to Charlotte Craig's excellent agony aunt site She personally advises people. Which is unusual.
