S3 EP6: Prove Me Wrong: Picking an Investor is Harder than Picking a Spouse

Eric majored in exercise science and planned to go into medicine. When that didn't work out, he applied to every rotational business program he could find and got screened out of all of them because of his major. A friend's tip about consulting changed everything.
