Some people travel after college or work until they find their calling.
Others, like Edwin Booz, start management consulting firms. Booz, who founded his eponymous firm shortly after graduating from Northwestern University in 1914, probably had no idea that at the dawn of the next century, his firm would be among the most prestigious consulting firms in the world. From the beginning, Booz's consulting firm, one of the first such companies, worked closely with corporations in the Midwest and other parts of the United States - Montgomery Ward, General Mills and the American National Red Cross. Booz was joined by partners Allen and Hamilton during the 1930s. Booz Allen garners 80 percent of its revenues from previous clients - a strong track record of satisfaction.
