<p>“The point is, if you just want a management career, even with a biotech or a pharmaceutical company, it’s probably more efficient to just go work there right after undergrad and try to rise to management, or perhaps after getting your MBA.”</p>
<p>But most people (95% approximately) that want to “rise into managment” never do. I think it’s wise to get a MD (job security and great pay), and the try to see if you’re CEO material at work…you may not like it, or may not have the right talent. </p>
<p>The best way to gauge if you’re CEO material , without actually stepping into the working world, is this:</p>
<p>1> Are you a born leader of a somewhat large social group?
2> Are you analytical skills great? (e.g. did you get 1400 or higher on the SAT, M+V)
3> Can you sell things to people?</p>
<p>…if you’re not comfortable with all those items above, you may not like being a CEO, but you can still become a very highly paid doctor if you have an MD degree.</p>
