However,it could be very risky in this economy. During recruiting, one needs to be very focused. I once had a classmate who interviewed with a CPG company in the Pet Care space, a investment banking job, a management consulting job, and a high tech product management all on the same day. :-) Also, it's ironic that when on the application essay, an applicant all sounds that they know exactly what they want to do. But, when they start school, they don't really know what they want. :-) I suppose it's human nature that the grass is always greener on the other side.
