Kevin O’Leary, the blunt-talking investor from Shark Tank, is sounding the alarm for Gen Z about consulting jobs—calling them a career trap that could leave you "unemployable for life." He claims even two years in the field turns you into "tainted meat" in the eyes of future employers, framing it as a slow slide into professional ruin.

Editor’s Note: O’Leary’s harsh take taps into broader anxieties about early-career choices and employability. Whether you agree or not, his warning highlights how certain industries (like consulting) can pigeonhole workers—a real concern for young professionals navigating a shaky job market. It’s also classic O’Leary: hyperbolic, but designed to spark debate.
