He was wise enough to recognize that a little bit of real-world experience can go a long way in the business world.

After getting to know one of the clients' businesses quite well, he was offered a full-time position with the company. It was a professional services firm that primarily provides advice on operating efficiency and effectiveness issues. Martin couldn't be happier with his decision to move into consulting full-time, as he felt he had the best of both worlds-the manufacturing and professional services settings that both of his parents had exposed him to while growing up. During his first year in this consulting role, Martin worked with three clients, in this order: Maple, Points, and Joy. He and his seasoned colleagues spent the following hours on these three clients Maple Points Joy Martin 395 495 595 Others 945 595 495 Total hours 1,340 1,090 1090
