To be a consultant you need to be an experienced engineer in your field of choice.  It also helps if you are in fact an expert. Finally in the US you need to be a registered professional engineer in most states.\n\nHaving said that, consultants typically handle problems that their customers can't either due to lack of experience or manpower.

I suggest you put a message on "Engineering Tips" www.eng-tips you will need to register and go to the engineering area suited to your question. I guess it will be Mechanical

I worked for a big IT consulting firm for 10 years, then moved on to a "in-house" job. Whether you wanna go MCSE or System Admin is your choice, my advise is to stay in the consulting world. Once you go in-house for a corporation you're just like furniture. At least a consulting firm has to keep up with the market and the technology, you get exposed to more projects and more training opportunities. Good luck!

Not necessarily just electrical. I have friends taking a robotics course which is a mechanical engineering course. I believe it is dealing with things like factory automation.

In some locations construction drawings must be approved by a registered professional engineer. Many times this is a ME

It is possible.   But it boils down to supply and demands.\nSome type of engineering require domestic engineers and not consulting services.   But the number are limited.\nThere are demands in US and canada but don't know the supply situation.   There may be fewer engineering students than before also.

I'm an Electrical Engineer.\nI studied (30 years ago!) Heavy current applications.\nI generally deal with Supply and transmission of electrical energy from the generation point, until it reaches your socket outlet in your house, office or factory. I size cables, fuses and switchgear. I design lighting installations, Fire alarms, Security alarms, Access control, Lightning protection and general feeds to other building controls and equipment within the construction industry.\n\nElectronic Engineers would have studied light current applications. They are professional within the equipment construction industry, and are responsible for design or servicing and repair of Electronically biaised equipment, such as TV's, Computers, Hi-Fi, DVD etc.\n\nThere is a cross over point between the 2 professions.\nFor example; Electronically biaised engineers would design a central control for Building Management, but would not normally be able to safely design the remote heavy current switches that the system actuates, or have in depth knowledge of the stringent regulations which are mandatory.\n\nI wouldn't try and mend my TV, and I sure as hell wouldn't want an Electronics engineer wiring my house! (Their cables are far to small!)\n\nThat's about as complicated as it gets!

Consultants are people who advise or assist others on and explain what actions they should take to reach your ultimate goals.  This could be in the form of consultation or actual labor.  They normally get paid top dollar and work is based on performance and need, hardly ever on a permanant basis.

This is difficult.  Usually you'd work as an engineer for a number of years and develop friends and contacts in the industry before forming your own business (so you'll have customers).  The other approach is to do contract engineering (small engineering jobs) and develop a reputation.  Some regions of the country prefer not to hire outside consultants and would prefer to hire only employees, so consider the business culture of the region.  If you wanted to start a 'firm' (multiple employees) you should already have secured a customer (it is comparitively easier to hire the additional engineers when you need them).

Be prepared for situational questions. Engineering as you know usually backed up by pure facts and numbers, everything is measured, sometimes this is called hard science. Marketing is more soft science, there is a lot of guessing in regards to what will work, what will not when it comes to developing something new. \n\nMy first source compares and contrasts engineers and marketers in the context of website analytics. My second source describes his interview with Microsoft regarding an interview for a marketing position.
