>> You need to have a very strong education.
You may join as an intern.
But then the assumption is, at some
point, you're going to go and get an MBA.
So you need that.
It would -- if you want to work with a
big firm, it would help to start there.
You don't have to.
You can work with a small firm.
And you can graduate to a big firm, actually.
But it's much easier to start out and learn
the business from some firm that's really,
really good at it than to start
at a boutique and move from that.
So I think it's still the same: you need
to get a good education, you
need to be willing to work.
There's a lot to learn.
Today probably more people from business
that went to various consulting firms,
but then again, my specialty
is human capital consulting.
It's, I guess, more important to pick
a field that's intellectually demanding
and be very good at it.
And be willing to learn, because you basically
spend your entire career learning new things.
Every client's different.
Every set of people you work with is different.
I migrated my contact list
from my Blackberry over the --
well, I started out with a series of
Palms and then with the Blackberries.
So, and the contact list -- and that's
probably going back 15 years, is,
15 years maybe at most -- is about
3,500 or 4,000 good contacts.
You meet a lot of people.
So, and work with a lot of people.
