> They all said they would either be a consultant or a manager.

To be a good consultant, one must be exceptional in the area in which one consults.

Similarly: if they actually want to become a manager, why don't they study business administration instead. And because lots of people want to become managers: why don't they hang all day and night about textbooks and texts about economic topics and analyze reportings of companies or business case studies?
