If you want to be a billionaire, you’d be better invested by opting for engineering at some university or taking up a job as a salesperson.
This is proven thanks to a research from British recruitment agency Aaron Wallis Sales Recruitment, which examined Forbes’ list of the 100 richest people in the world to reveal what they studied, their first job, and how surplus they became.
The report says that 75 of the world’s richest 100 people have a degree, and out of these 22 studied engineering at the first place.
53 of the top 100 also started working in a non-family owned business, with 19% starting in a salesperson role and 17% starting as a stock trader.
Meanwhile, 17% of the world’s top 100 billionaires started their careers by setting up their own business.
