Quotes:

“Consulting, Overall, Is Not A Great Business To Be In, Or A Great Career For Someone Who Does Not Want To Work. If You Want To Work, Consulting Is A Fantastic Career… It Can Be Lucrative. There's Great Work, It's Rewarding.”

“Have In Your Mind, Your Utilization, When You Work Because The Utilization Is Really The Target.”
