Message: Hello. I'm a CIS major graduating in December with a solid background in VB, Java, and web design. I'm running a 4.0 in my courses (not a top tier school though), and have solid experience in real sales and management (7 years work experience before returning to college, including 4 running $7 million business). That's the background. The question is, to go into consulting or not? I think the work would suit me perfectly, but am concerned with the travel (especially Big 5). But do more tech-oriented consultants travel as much as strategy people? Any words of wisdom would be appreciated!
