The world of higher ed is basically a 180 from consulting. Much much slower, less sophisticated technology in some areas (could have some advanced collaboration tools), work life balance is way better. I would say it’s similar to industry, possibly less fast paced. Can you talk to someone in the area now? Could be really rewarding depending on what your goals are.
