Hi and welcome to my blog,
I opened this blog to help anyone who is preparing for his SAT.
I remember myself when I started - I was so lost and in such a panic.
Luckily I got this great SAT guide that helped me a lot . So study hard and good luck!
I’d eventually like to go back to grad school and get "on the road" to an academic career. I was wondering if ACT/SAT tutoring might be a good career move for me right now. I got a 30 on the ACT some years ago (the score report said that was the 99th percentile for that year, IIRC), and I currently have a B.A. I had a decent GPA in college. I have no previous tutoring or educational experience. Is this something I should pursue?

It depends on your long term goal. If, as you said, you want to start getting "on the road" to an academic career, ACT/SAT tutoring will be a good career move. Think of it as a temporary stepping stone while you earn your credentials. You might want to get extra info from the many tutors who hang out on this site: http://www.tuitionplaza.com/tutoring/
The short answer is that it depends upon what kind of career you want.
I teach LSAT and GRE prep courses. Its a good part time job to supplement my regular income.
You can build some valuable skills that could translate to other career areas. For example, the public speaking aspect involved with regularly getting in front of a classroom could be useful in a variety of careers.
