What do CEOs have that made them CEOs or top excecutives? What career should someone study to become one? Does it make any difference what career you study if you choose to do an MBA after it? Do people that study "some" career have more advantage on becoming CEOs or a top excecutives of any company than others? If you study, for example, engineering, even if you do or don't do an MBA after, will you only be able to be CEO of an engineering company?

... Can an engineer even become a CEO?

My bf is a electrical engineer and the ceo at his company has about seven degrees in engineering and business, So i guess the more study you do the more likely you are to get the top job. But there are also those people that have started from the bottom and worked their way up to the top. I think those cases are rare though

You need to acquire knowledge on how to manage a business effectively as well as efficiently.
If you're considering a career as a CEO, you're not going to get there overnight. Becoming one requires lots of commitment as well as hard work and effort. Take some business courses, money management, develop your social skills, etc.
Yes, an engineer definitely can become a CEO. Sure, why not!
Good luck!

It seems that a PhD in cut-throat and one in Screw Everyone is a prime requirement. Obscene greed is also recommended, as is a lack of moral fiber.
