Reply to comment by PassionPit101 in Soon-to-Be College Grad Relocating to Boston - Advice? (esp. Salary Negotiation) by PassionPit101

That’s definitely interesting and I apologize for my ignorance before.

Yes it’s possible to work in consulting without business/economics/stem degrees. But it may depend on your school. Good thing is there’re a metric ton of them in Boston: the top 3 (McKinsey, BCG, Bain), the big 4 (Deloitte, EY, KPMG and PwC) and various specialized firms (healthcare consulting, economics consulting etc.). I would say none of them required specialized skills for entry level. Maybe basic accounting/Excel. It’s not for everyone but they do hire a decent amount of college grads year after year.

No need at all to apologize! I get the confusion pretty often.

While I have my career aspirations in the museum/cultural institution sector, when push comes to shove i'll be thankful for an office job that pays a living wage as a backup plan, especially graduating in this economy! So thank you so much for sharing this!
