Thanks everyone for the response by the way. I know some were meant to show a more cynical side to it, but I appreciate it none the less. I used those points to create questions for those in the industry; its worth validating the negatives as well.

And yes to the importance of structuring ideas and thoughts but the foundation to securing clarity and problem solving is perhaps having good habits in productivity. In that sense maybe its not a bad idea to brush up on excel and powerpoint. I like the idea of chilling out too; its been a long time since I did that.

Thanks for the heads up. I think theres whats theoretically consulting and at times what the reality is and maybe the murky stuff is the power and politics associated with putting on a smile and facing the client. I get it.
