You'll probably need actual experience in the field before that role would be possible, though sometimes on real large projects they just need capable enough bodies and they'll overlook the lack of real experience. (I've spent about 20yrs doing those exact things).

All the certs and degrees in the world don't mean much without actual experience, so you might need to start as a regular Analyst or something first and work your way up, though it certainly varies a lot from firm to firm and project to project and industry to industry.

Most fresh grads, MBAs or not, SixSigma or not, are useless as a third tit until you've done the job itself a bunch. Much like fresh Butter Bars with no real ARMY experience, all text book, etc, and there's a vast gulf between classroom and reality on all such projects.

Great career though, and I've no doubt you'll be good at it. Best of luck.
