#2 and # 4 don’t necessarily contradict each other, they are merely giving two alternatives.

#2 is saying that you do not NEED to go to an ivy league school to become a CEO. Also that it is POSSIBLE to become a CEO by dropping out.

#4 is saying that it is a definite plus to have an advanced degree, proven by the statistics, but it is not completely necessary.

They are showing two different outlooks, but not contradictory.

A lot depends on instincts and a business sense mainly- Google or Yahoo top guns have the business sense to capitalise on their technical strengths/products. On the contrary, most technical people have a narrow mindset and cant see the whole picture.

There is another way to become a CEO: Start your own company and name yourself CEO .

Of course Public Universities are going to have the same % of CEOs. Just remember that less than 1% of the college population goes to IVY, while upwards of 60% go to Puplic. Proportionally, WAY more CEOs come from Ivy. And although 15% of CEOs major in business, 40% of college students major in business. Liberal Arts degrees do better when looking at things proportionally. I’m not surprised by the success of engineers, though. Engineers are smart.
