Career paths outside...

Career paths outside academia is a frequent topic of conversation within the PhD community. One option that not a lot of people talk about is consulting - the term sounds too vague to spike curiosity and PhDs don’t necessarily know what this means as a job. Surprisingly, there are roles in consulting firms taken by science PhDs. I am trying to organise an event at campus in my university about consulting for PhD students and would like to have an idea of numbers in the general community to know who to target. I would like to get your help to get a rough number of PhD students (preferentially in science backgrounds) in here that know what a consulting job is, and if you are considering a career in consulting at all. Thanks!
