I've found that the most important sections "What Did They Study in College?" conclusions are misleading. Engineering majors dominated the list (28), followed by business (16), economics (12), accounting (11) and finance (5). Personally I think it's a bit disingenuous and misleading to separate the engineering degrees while keeping the the other majors intact. Then when it comes to compare the engineering Vs business, all the business includes business, economics, accounting and finance. My conclusion from the article is that if you want to become a successful CEO where the main title is "executive" (as opposed to CFO, CIO, CTO, etc), because with engineering education and background you probably can "execute" better.
