A friend of mine got her PhD. in chemistry and joined one of the big 3 consulting firms after graduation, and she didn't have any business training. She did well there, and probably would have gone very far had she decided the stress, 80-90-hour weeks, and weeks away from home was worth it. She was there for probably 5 years.
She didn't use a single bit of her chemistry training, and was basically an Excel and PPT jockey. She's now at a more regular job that does involve chemistry and is a lot happier.
The company recruits a lot of science and engineering types for business consultants.
