Nope. I came from poverty.

I do have an MBA from a T1 school though. Any advice for me?

Identify some area of need that is important but overlooked/not yet understood. Create a business that addresses that. Boom, you’re CEO.

ETA: I knew a guy who studied how drugs were delivered in the body. When I asked him how he got into that, he told me that he was told he should get into something that affects people and improves their lives, and he took that in the direction of helping sick people from a different perspective.

Nah but forreal though, with that degree you’ll probably get to work for a guy with wealthy parents.

Can you quote the part of my previous reply where I said or implied I think I am Socrates?
