How to Become CFO
One of my dreams is to become CFO of a Fortune 50 company. How should I go about doing this? What should I major in school? My college doesn't offer any accounting or finance tracks...only Economics.

Please help!!!!

Thanks in advance.

If you go to a top 5 school you can major in anything you want. Quantitative fields are highly respected.

Okay gotcha. What about summer internships? Do you have any recommendations as to what I should look into?

Big 4 internship. Go to any job posting site, look up CFO. You will see the importance of accounting. All of them pretty much say CPA is required too.
