Earn $100–$200/hour as a tech consultant — and almost no one is training for these 7 platforms.

ServiceNow. Pega. Cerner/Oracle Health. Veeva. Guidewire. UKG. Ellucian Banner. These niche platforms run hospitals, universities, insurance companies, and Fortune 500 HR departments — and the talent pool is shrinking fast. Fewer competitors. Six-figure consulting rates. Companies searching for months, coming up empty.

In this episode, we break down exactly why these 7 platforms pay $100–$200/hour, the fastest entry point into each one, and how to use The Blueprint Strategy to go from employee to independent consultant in 3 years:

✅ Why these platforms pay more — and why that won't change

✅ Junior entry points: certifications, first roles, and first contracts

✅ The 4-Year Plan from employee → specialist → consultant

✅ Which platforms have the fastest path to $175–$200/hour
