<p>Pizzagirl - The experience you described would suggest that you should understand that you must first build credential and follow established procedures (utilizing creativity and minor discretion on occasions) before you can go into the most chaotic parts of the world to innovate and create systems that would ultimately improve the world. However, your sarcasm directed towards those hardworking young management consultants show a very immature view of the world. Also, a majority of managing directors leave their organization after a few years, so I don’t really know why you think that your case is special.</p>
