The business world has gotten smarter, slimmer, and meaner. Instead of employing more people, they now rely heavily on hiring consultants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHiring a consultant is easier; it is a contract job, and these consultants are not on the company's payroll; there are no benefits, no 401K plans, and no health insurance for them. So, companies have fewer expenses and lower legacy costs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLet's now discuss what it takes to be a consultant. Do you need a Ph.D. in a subject to be a consultant? Sure, that will help, but most of us do not have such degrees. In reality, 75% or more of professional consultants in the workforce today do not have more than a Bachelor's degree. Out of that 75 %, around 20% do not even have a Bachelor's degree.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeing a consultant is not about having a degree but about knowledge of a specific subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI have a friend who worked for a solar panel maker for a few years. He recently started his own solar conversion consulting company and is doing very well. The best part is that he never went to college.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you wonder why and how this is possible, think about it: by working at a solar panel-making company, he had plenty of exposure to everything solar. As a consultant, he consults companies on solar conversion and saving energy costs. He is enjoying the fruits of the Green Living movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you want to be a consultant, you first need to do soul-searching.
