<p>I see that U of I gets recruited heavily at for consulting so what is a good degree for consulting? </p>
<p>-Finance?
-Accounting?
-Business Administration (what specialization in marketing, organizational administration, production, management science, industrial distribution management, management information systems, entrepreneurship, & food and agribusiness management)?</p>
<p>Wouldn't that be like qualitative analysis?</p>
<p>Anything...</p>
<p>Finance/Accounting: financial consulting
Bus. ad./Management: management consulting
Marketing/PR: PR consulting
management info systems: InfoTech consulting
On and on and on....</p>
<p>Which one is more lucrative and which one is easier going out of Management/Financial/PR/Info-tech Consulting? I want to work in Europe so which one sounds right for me? I enjoy computers so I guess Info-tech might be a good option.</p>
<p>I know management is the most lucrative right after investment banking....</p>
<p>I'd rank it this way for lucrativeness:</p>
<ol>
<li>Management</li>
<li>Financial</li>
<li>InfoTech</li>
<li>PR</li>
</ol>
<p>By financial consultant I mean like financial advisor such as the ones who work for Morgan Stanley.</p>
<p>I'd rank it this way for which ones are easier to get jobs in (easiest to hardest):</p>
<ol>
<li>PR</li>
<li>InfoTech/Financial</li>
<li>Management</li>
</ol>
<p>You can get into it w/ economics as well just make sure u take a lot of math</p>
<p>I hate ihateCA</p>
<p>Thanks. Totally uncalled for.</p>
<p>Im just jokin.</p>
<p>Does consulting require a lot of math?</p>
<p>What do you want to consult for? Going into "consulting" is like going into "work". It is a very broad description for a type of employment contract when someone is seeking expertise. Get a degree in what interests you, and then build expertise in that area. the most lucrative consulting area is the one that you're good at.</p>
