You were objecting to Grapesoda saying CEOs tend to spend almost 20 years in school.
12 + 4 + 2 = 18 ~ 20
You asserted that most CEOs must have had average grades and average training.
An advanced degree is not average training.
People who excel while not being into school are unlikely to seek more school. People who seek more school who excel are likely to excel at school. So it seems unlikely that people who excel to the tune of $9 million a year would have performed at an average level in something they did on purpose.
Almost all MBAs would take a CEO job, yet almost none get one. So obviously the average MBA does not get to be CEO.
How do you think someone gets to be CEO? Do you seriously think it is just be average, do average stuff, be a sociopath, and "don't have bad luck"? Do you think CEO compensation is basically the lottery?
