The ironic thing about this focus on wealth is I doubt in the long-term taking business courses is the best way to achieve it. I suspect most top level CEOs at manufacturing companies are engineers or math, science (especially pharmaceuticals), or computer sci majors and at service companies and Wall Street ditto for math and science as well as the liberal arts, especially english and history. A business degree may help obtain a good job initially (what most of the surveys examine), but I suspect long-term the more rigorous majors that require high levels of critical thinking skills help people get to the top.
