I realize there are all kinds of ways to get to your goal. I mean...there are degrees, networking, working from the bottom up, etc. But, I have to say...I was bored (sort of) and decided to go look at some large companies in my area and see what kind of degrees the hire-ups have.

CEO of Chiquita Brands (and yes they sell more than just bananas)

Ed Lonergan | LinkedIn

Edward F. Lonergan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

CEO/CFO Duke Energy

Lynn J. Good -Duke Energy

What is their secret? Networking? Family ties? Hard work is involved without a doubt but how did they get this far with just an undergraduate degree.

And I'm not talking about the geniuses who built their own company from the ground up....quit college and made a lot of money. I'm talking about people who earned BS/BA and looked around for a job and landed a great one at huge corporations. How?
Don't miss out on something great just because it might also be difficult.

Since I have a relatively high IQ, I'm pretty sure that isn't the key to success. As someone with a low EQ score, I think that that must be the ticket.

Yes, you have to be good at small talk and butt kissing. It also helps if you like to get drunk after work.
