<p>Yeah, Brigham Young.. Bain loves 'em.</p>
<p>anyone.. else.. any advice/suggestions ???</p>
<p>Well as a business professional, what is it I would 'consult' with you about? I have had dealings with McKinsey at times and most of the ones who are successful know something - either intimate with financials or industry specific.</p>
<p>I woudl suggest pursuing a job internal to one of the many companies that make or do things in the midwest ..then maybe if you still want to consult --which you may not -- combine that with an MBA and you could really be valuable . </p>
<p>What is it yo think you would do as a 'consultant' ? Not trying to be harse, just get you to think.</p>
<p>As to the Ohio State bashing, you could do a lot lot worse. Your imagination may be holding you back, not your degree</p>
<p>rty456.. since youve worked with McKinsey .. i'd like to ask you.. why can a person from an ivy be a consultant and someone from ohio state cant...?? do u feel , just because of my school's rank i cant have that vision... I am not trying to disregard what you said... i understand and appreciate what you said above. .. but this one question bothers me..
and as answer to your question..
In a short period of life.. i have seen a lot of businesses ... i have tried to understand bsuinesses..
and i feel i can undersatnd business dynamics.. quicker than others</p>
<p>Well the short answer, as far as I am concerned, is that you very well may have the vision and the ability to understand dynamic etc as you say. In short, it appears to be one of those 'life isnt fair' situations. I expect that if someone gave you the chance, you would have a fair chance of being a valuable contributor. </p>
<p>Well, you may not have the specific job in your sites that you want, but you have many other opportunities. I dont know you, but I would encourage you to seek out operational jobs that allow you to use and nourish this talent to indicate you have. There is generally a limited number of people entering these positions.</p>
<p>IF you hae these skills, you should nurture them in the business world, and also -to some degree- test if you are correct in your thinking. </p>
<p>All the best... I think you will find that there are many places that your degree will open doors, take advantage of it.</p>
<p>An example I am aware of the CEO of ATT is from my school Texas Tech, and there are many mnay others</p>
<p>osu_ib - Ohio State has an awesome alumni network. Check with OSU's alumni office to see what grads work at one or more of the consulting firms you are interested in. Then contact those alum(s) to do an "informational interview" by phone (or hopefully in person) about consulting as a career and any advice they would have for you. Business professionals are flattered to do informational interviews. Who knows, you might impress the heck out of one of them and open a door for yourself.</p>
<p>thanks rty456 and lonestardad.. you guys are right i guess..
lets see how things work out... a year and a half .. before i face the recruiting process.. :(
i'll keep in mind.. what you guys said</p>
