You have start off like anyone else and work yourself up. Usually people that take business administration or managment become CEO's of huge corporations. It really depends on how long you stay with the company, I'd say like 10 years or longer it will take an average person to become a CEO. because remember CEO's have lots of experience and education, I'd recommend you take business administration, thats what most CEO's have taken. CEO's are visonary leaders that can take the corporation somewhere. good luck on that, i think you'd be a CEO one day.

Most people don't start off as CEOs unless they have a personal in to the company and have already put time under their belt. Usually you work up the corpterate ladder through promotions and take on challenges to prove you can you do it. Make a CEO position your goal and prove you have what it takes by working to it. Go to college, get as many degrees aiding in the field and work hard. You can do it!

You don't start out at the top unless you own your own business. It takes awhile to work your way up the corporate ladder. It takes hard work and a strong work ethic. The higher up you are, the more responsibility you have and that's why most CEO's are workaholics.

Either you start a business or you work your way up from the bottom and earn that CEO position and salary.

Well I started my business and was appointed CEO by the Board of Directors. My advice to you is to go to college and study business.

I started my own corporation.
The CEO, or president of a corporation, is hired by the board of directors.

You don't start as CEO, you work from the bottom up.

Determination, when others say no say yes and find a way forward going backward is not an option.

Climb the ladder with blood, sweat & tears. As you work your way up, kick the people climbing behind you down to the bottom. Lie, cheat & steal your way to the top rung forgetting everything everyone did to help you on your way to the top. Once on top; buy, sell, cut, paste & do whatever you need to do to stay up there. By then you will be rich and have no friends. But, as they say: Keep your freinds close; and keep your enemies closer.
