There seem to be some consulting firms (Deloitte in particular) that are interested in hiring students from UC Berkeley just for the prestige factor. In the worst case I could get an MBA or do IT consulting. (I do have a background in software development, but what I'm really interested in doing is roaming across the economic landscape and finding an industry-specific need for software that hasn't been written yet, and IT consulting doesn't seem like the best way to do that if it's mainly about helping businesses maintain existing systems--although correct me if I'm wrong about that.)
