I think that I have decided that I will become a consultant/project manager-type person in the next stage of my career.

I've heard that the money for consultants is really, really good.

The lifestyle isn't all that great -- you travel like 75% of the time -- but I could put up with that for a couple of years. Hell, I put up with my MBA classes for two years, right?

After being a consultant, I could probably land a directory or veep job at a company in the IT or Marketing arm of the biz.

The alternative, I think, is to be a marketing person. And if you think I lack respect for consultants, I have failed to describe my disdain for marketing folk. Of course, I respect both of them WAY more than I respect human resources people.

I could split the diff and go into account management but that's a lot like sales. *shiver* I really don't want to be in sales, which is the problem I have with starting the next stage of my career in marketing.

So, consulting, I think, is what I'll do. I think I'll be fabulous about it, too! When pressed I can be charming and engaging and even when I'm not those things people believe anything I say. (I can't do sales because I won't use my powers for evil.) So, consulting is perfect, if you ask me. I would get to travel around (I like that) and meet new people (sure) and see new places (great!) and talk a lot about things I know (the moment where my blogs become my job).

Consulting.

So, if you know some people, I'm for hire right now. I would like a really fat paycheck, please. You know, the kind that is so heavy with number before the decimal that you need a wagon to help you take it to the bank. Sign me up!
