"I Need Advice On Career Change From Medicine To Management Consulting"

I just turned 26 and I'm completing my Housemanship (Internship) in less than a month.Since I resumed Clinical years (400 Lvl and Up) in Medical School, I had lost my enthusiasm for Medicine and somehow knew that being excellent at Clinical practice was going to be difficult for me.I graduated with average grades, and in the course of my internship, I've just been an average doctor.I know I can easily get by with private practice as a Medical Officer, and make enough to live a basic life but living an exceptional life would be hard in Medicine.I keep talking about being exceptional because that's the kind of life I want. I had all distinction in my O Levels, and was also in top 10 students in my class before the Clinical years.I was involved in a number of extracurricular activities in school (from Digital Technology Projects to NGOs, etc.) some of which had significant national impact.I had thought about options like starting a Technology Startup, or doing a Post-Graduate Degree in the Basic Medical Sciences. But I've noticed that I like taking on big and ambitious projects, and I also easily get bored.(I don't enjoy working on a project for more than 6 months). This makes technology startup difficult, and a post graduate degree in Nigeria might also not be exciting enough to hold my attention.I started considering Management Consulting after watching tons of McKinsey, Bain & BCG videos on youtube. It feels like a sweet spot between liking to improve your intellectual vitality, working on big ambitious projects that you can immediately start seeing the impact, and being boredom proof since there would be multiple projects at once. I've also not been satisfied with my education in Nigeria so far and I'm hoping to take an MBA top 5 Business School. Management Consulting seems like a reasonable stepping stone to that.So overall, I'm wondering;How easy would it be to get into consulting with an average Academic Record' What other areas of assessment can I improve to increase my chances of getting an offer'What are the peculiarities of Management Consulting in Nigeria' How are things different from the 'oyinbo' videos I've been watching on youtube'What are the salaries like' What salaries can I expect as a Business Analyst'I"ll appreciate your advice.Thanks.
