I'm looking into becoming a consultant. Have a BS in economics and a MS in Marketing, with little work experience. Tell me why I shouldn't pursue consulting, it can be any reason whether it be my degrees, lack of experience or your own personal experience.

One of the customers complained that I was too slow (I'm dyslexic, I'm doing my best!) so my manager stepped in to help her. I thought I was going to be in really big trouble. But after the customer left the manager told me that I shouldn't be too hard on myself, "sometimes customers are just being jerks" and I felt so grateful. Not all supervisors are unreasonable, some of them are actually quite understanding. I don't know. It just surprised me, it was really cool.
