FDIC vs Consulting from Duke

Finishing Freshman year at Duke (econ./ finance)I realize these two may be worlds apart but I see both having a fair amount of travel and FDIC hovering at ~100k within 3yrs experience with some problem solving which is important to me. Is consulting a huge increase in pay or simply the opportunities that can follow? And what should someone expect coming out of this major(Caucasian lower income student that was fortunately accepted but no family members in business/ assistance.) Thanks for any input in advance.
