Hi! you are already overpriced; at this point your best bet is to do as the other poster said and do jobs and farm to increase your stats-that way either your pupil will bump you or other players might also hire you. You only get a maximum of 1m per hire, and dorms and crew get very expensive so that's not going to give you enough to upgrade in the long run. The bigger you get the less you can rely on getting hired to grow.
