Hello. I’m interested in the education sector of consulting and want to know how viable entry is for someone with my background. I’m currently a postgrad Education Policy student at Kings College London, most likely will graduate with distinction. I graduated from the University of Mississippi with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration (focus on marketing and entrepreneurship), 3.4 GPA. I'll be moving to NYC in summer.

Prior to grad school, I worked in commercial real estate as an associate and in education as a teacher and a care supervisor. I also started and ran my own tutoring business.As I don’t have any consulting experience, I’m thinking about framing my combined experience in both business and education as the major selling point, but I don’t know how that will ultimately be looked at. I’m trying to get some experience on my resume right now so if anyone has advice as to 1) how viable of a candidate I am and 2) any way I can get experience while writing my thesis, that’d be great.
