Joining consultancy but inexperienced and parallel with this field

Hi all users,I want you to help me understand how to become a consultant from the bottom, I read some economical books(that was during highschool and not college) about simple interest,compound interest,TVA,quantity,demand,elastic coefficient.supply and,to be honest, I remained in ,,fog'' with all these words. My question to all of the users is:,,How much microeconomics or macroeconomics do you need to know if you want to work in the field of consultancy? Does it involve higher mathematics,,calculus''(differentiation,integration,limits?) Another problem which I encountered during highschool is that I hated economics(I had a highschool teacher who showed little significance to her studying methods and all she did for us is to write notes from the book and memorize all the words) Is that how you learn economics? By memorizing all the formulas and words?
