Hi, can you tell me, is graduate school (presumably for an MBA) necessary for management consulting? I understand that undergrads are recruited by consulting firms, but is one expected to attend business school at some point (after a year or two or three, etc?), or can one be a consultant without ever having gone to business school?
If graduate school is in fact necessary, must one go for an MBA or do folks ever get other types of potentially applicable (econ, comp sci, etc.) degrees?
thanks,
mike |

Not only is Grad School unneccesary, so is real world exposure to business of any kind.
Now you understand why consulting is failing as a business concept.
