Well, the decision is entirely yours. You have to weigh the pros and cons though. I'm a non IT major and I chose to go the consultancy route some 2 years back. I was paranoid, nervous, excited and what not. But turned out it was one of the best decisions I made in my life. Not only I'm working for the same Company for two years but I've learned so much technically and living a lifestyle that I wouldn't expect living otherwise. You need to take calculated risks. It's both your performance and fate. I've had a friend who was dropped from 3 jobs in mere 8 months. Yes, luck needs to chime in for you as well.
