The vast majority of CEOs and COOs have a STEM Bachelors and an MBA form a top Business school.

I was there, on that track... STEM bachelors and then an MBA at UT-Austin, so I guess I missed the big-time on the second degree. :-)

Was working my way up the C ladder at GE when I decided I freaking hated GE's culture. I worked for 3 of the largest companies in the world, but it wasn't for me.

So I started my own company 20 years ago and haven't regretted it. Although there have been times when I've been scared spitless.

From an academic perspective, McCombs is up there with the best of them. It’s limited in IB/MBB placement due to geography, not quality, and those things play heavily in the rankings. You didn’t “miss” on anything except perhaps having a shorter feed into “the club.”
