For students looking to get into the business world upon graduation, three particular industries sit at the forefront of their minds. These are investment banking, public accounting, and consulting. But do students really know what each of these industries entails? It is vital to have a thorough understanding of each field before sitting for an interview for one.

Consulting is a tremendously diverse field that is too often overlooked by students with highly technical and science-based backgrounds. In today’s job market, consulting is truly one of the most prestigious and rewarding careers you can land right out of college. Unfortunately, there is the common misconception that the industry is inaccessible to those without business-related backgrounds.
As a senior majoring in Microbiology, Immunology & Molecular Genetics actively pursuing a career in consulting, I am here to argue that engineers, mathematics majors, and life science majors, of all sorts are just as qualified to work in the industry as their business economics and accounting counterparts.

What is Consulting?
Consulting is one of the high-profile industries in business that offers students from a variety of majors the chance to fully immerse themselves in the business world shortly upon graduation. To effectively explain what consulting is, it is helpful to use an analogy about a hospital. A person goes to the hospital for several reasons: he can be sick and requires diagnosis and treatment or he simply wants to do a checkup. Consulting firms and consultants are hospitals and doctors, respectively, in the business world. Governments and companies from all industries hire consultants to advise them on how to solve different problems and make improvements that these institutions cannot do by themselves.
