Exactly - my current CEO graduated with a general business degree from Miami University of Ohio. No MBA from Harvard, just a really smart and incredibly personable man who constantly found himself in the right place at the right time during his career.

The president of the company graduated with an education degree :eek: in science from the University of Texas. He actually taught for a few years out of college, but quit to enter the business world to make more money. He’s a really smart man, and knows more about systems and the equipment than the engineers that work here.

Obviously, that education degree worked out for him. ;)

In business, your degree gets you in the door. At that point, you have to be trainable *and likeable *to advance.
