Technology Consulting (TC) to Management Consulting (MC)

Hi all,

I graduated with a Finance degree a few years ago and went through the recruiting process. We don't have many MC firms that hired from our school so I went for anything related (or so I thought) to consulting and stumbled into Technology Consulting. For the past few years, they have been pushing me down what I feel is a bit of a pigeon hole... packaged software technologies (SAP, Oracle). I'd like to see what your opinions are in making a career change to MC. I've heard it's a tough transition even through networking and that I might have to consider an advanced degree through the current firm and then dipping out after it's paid out... but I don't think I can stand doing the work anymore. I'm not genuinely interested in anything they have me doing.

Any thoughts?

Thanks...
