Desperate rising international senior looking at IB and consulting - Please review!

Dear friends,

I am a rising international senior from New Zealand at Duke University looking at consulting (mostly M/B/B since other firms don't sponsor visas) and IB (once again the bigger firms). Given the state of the economy, my status as an international and my lack of business I'm mulling over my decision to try and pursue a career in these fields. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated and please be as critical and harsh as possible.

Cheers,

Cosariano
