To those who have never read it, I can commend Rip-off!: The Scandalous Inside Story of the Management Consulting Money Machine by David Craig. It was true when I put my little piggy wiggles into the (hot) water 30 years ago as a recent graduate who knew very little (although I could code and do sophisticated arithmetic), and as I make a living by sorting out some of the problems created by their kind today, still true. A good if mind boggling crazy read. Icon, cos that's what you will be doing when you read it.
