How do you become a consultant? One of the most surprising answers, at least for Americans, is that you can learn the basics by joining a student consulting club.
“Over the past decade or so, undergraduate ’consulting clubs’ have proliferated. The idea is to band together and offer to do work for firms for a fraction of the cost of hiring regular consultants, and in the process learn a lot about business,” writes The Economist in a recent article on What the rise of student consulting clubs means.
