I gotta say, I don't think consultancy is a particularly good career move right out of college; as a potential employer, I don't feel at all warm and fuzzy with the amount of business and scheduling knowledge/experience a recent engineering degree is likely to have imbued in a "consultant." (On the other hand, as a cut throat nasty sort of person, I might be anxious to take advantage of such suspected inexperience... (full-time "consultant" employment at large companies is a different thing, BTW.)
