Consulting

The other day, I was thinking about what an ideal job might be, and I came to the conclusion that simply developing ideas (and saving some of the trouble of actually executing them), would be a sweet mix of entrepreneurship and laziness. Granted, the sort of job I'm dreaming up wouldn't be nearly as profitable when a good idea hits, but it would certainly have more job security. Simply working as an entreprenuerial consultant, helping entrepreneurs improve their ideas, figuring out logistics, and simply being creative seems like it is a job that already has a built-in market and function to play in the wider market.

Of course, such a job's success would rely entirely on one's reputation as such a consultant, and would probably be mostly artificial and phony, but it seems as though such a job is economically viable. It is a form of the market slowly eliminating the economic profit accrued from entrepreneurial ability, while adding more value to the overall product in the end.

Am I totally off base here? Anyone agree that such a job seems too viable to be impracticable?
