Boy, 11, offers New Yorkers 'emotional advice' for $2 a pop
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A New York City boy with an entrepreneurial spirit and a willingness to listen to others' problems has found a way to make some extra cash by offering advice, for a fee, at a subway station.
The New York Post reports (http://nyp.st/2hBcsUP ) that for two bucks a session, commuters at the Brooklyn station can get 5 minutes of "emotional advice" from 11-year-old Ciro Ortiz. The pint-size counselor sits at a card table with a sign advertising his service each Sunday. The setup calls to mind the advice stand run by "Peanuts" comic strip character Lucy.
Ciro says it's a "good way to give back and make money."
