You either get to be CEO by starting your own company, or somebody hires you. By the time somebody seriously considers hiring you for a CEO job, it's probably been twenty or thirty years since anybody cared about whether you went to school, or what you studied, or where. By the time somebody ready to give you a CEO job, they want to know all about what you've done for other companies that you have worked for in the past. They want to talk to all of the people you have worked with. Find out what kind of leader you are. Find out how you operate. How you get things done. How you get people motivated and get them on your side.

They want to know what you tried, What kind of results you got, What worked, what didn't work, how you recovered, how quickly you recovered. They want to know how you handle delicate negotiations, how you deliver the bad news, how you deliver the good news,... This list goes on and on and on.

They'll probably ask you where you went to school, but that's because they want to know who you know, not what you know.
