A career aptitude test told Monica Parker she should be a dancer or a lawyer. She chose the latter. But after stints at both a large and a small firm, Parker still hadn't found her niche. "I had tried everything I could think of, and I still couldn't make it work," she says. So she launched a career-coaching business. Parker's goal is to help clients who are struggling with the same issues that she had: the desire to follow the heart while doing something secure, prestigious and well paid.
