<p>Yes, the glamorous world of management consulting. Take an eager 22 year old, stick him in a hotel room in Newark or Omaha (oh wow, a mini bar! cool!) for six months on end, and have him crunch spreadsheets in a cubicle at his client’s office where he’s persona non grata for 80 hours a week and maybe, just maybe, let him show his face to a client every now and then if he promises to be good and behave himself. Gosh! Wow! The glamour! It’s like living the life of Paris Hilton!</p>
<p>BTW, I’m also laughing at your naivete about the pay scale in corporate America. Ever heard of stock options? That’s where the money is, not your every-2-weeks paycheck. Your eyes would pop if I told you how I left corporate America 9 years ago at a director level to join a small consulting firm.</p>
