<p>Big sports school, michigan Florida, Texas, and USC.</p>
<p>any if the 124 alleopathic medical schools in the country.</p>
<p>any of the T-14 law schools</p>
<p>any of these Ivy League MBA programs-Harvard. Columbia, Wharton, Dartmouth.</p>
<p>Schools don’t produce rich people…rich people start as motivated, curious, ambitious, hard working, likable, inventive, intelligent young people with winning personalities and people skills.</p>
<p>Regent University, Messiah College, Trinity College, just to name a few…
These colleges guarantee a successful career at the Republican party and even possibly the highest judicial and congressional jobs in Washington when a Republican like Bush gets elected.
Other career paths include talkshow hosts, AM radio hosts, Foxnews guaranteed employment opportunities.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Or as the children of rich people?</p>
<p>Seriously, though, OP, pick a high-paying field and then choose a school that’s at the top of that field.</p>
<p>Professional Sports will get you the most money, just have a 1.0 Gpa in high school go to Texas and then go play in the NFL and make millions.</p>

<p>Well, I don’t know about the last two. Bill Gates is the richest man in the world, yet commentators have invariably remarked about his bland personality and weak social skills, and even he’s admitted as much. Hard-working, motivated, ambitious, inventive, intelligent? Sure. But nobody considers Bill Gates to be an archetype of somebody with a winning personality or social skills. </p>
<p>Gates says. “So my freshman year I show up, and it’s all graduate students, and two days into the course I tell the professor, Hey, you know, this thing is wrong … My social skills weren’t that great.”</p>
<p>*He didn’t have social skills, but then again, he wasn’t running for prom king.</p>
<p>…Gates’ social skills still aren’t all that great. He may omit to shake your hand when you meet him. His voice has one setting: high and loud. He still has that much remarked-upon habit of rocking back and forth while he’s thinking, and he sometimes jumps up, rather startlingly, to pace while he’s talking. *</p>

<p>Or consider the notion of likability. Many rich people not only are not likable, but their very dislikability seems to be a core reason for how they became rich in the first place. For example, while the most common word usually used to describe Steve Jobs is ‘genius’, the second most common word is one that rhymes with ‘brass hole’. Granted, Jobs has mellowed significantly since he became sick, but Silicon Valley is replete with stories of Jobs’s abusive and vindictive leadership style (not to mention how he denied paternity of the daughter he had with his girlfriend - even claiming in a court document that he couldn’t be the father because he was sterile - and hence consigning them to live on welfare despite the fact that he was already wealthy. </p>
<p>*…let’s face it, Jobs has a track-record of demeaning others and taking credit for their work. </p>
<p>Malone – who once wrote a book about Jobs and his company – points out “there will always be things about him that are unforgivable – cruelties and manipulations (especially to Steve Wozniak), early crimes (illegal telephones, ironically), megalomania, and an unquenchable need to take credit from others (Do you know who led the original Mac team? Invented the iPod? Devised the new iPhone? I don’t think so) – and that no achievement will ever erase.” *</p>

<p>* Also not surprising were the many stories about Jobs as a demanding and hot-tempered leader.</p>
<p>“Everyone has their Steve-Jobs-the-******* story,” said one attendee, who asked not to be named.</p>
<p>One former manager, for example, recalled that Jobs told an entire team of engineers they would be losing their jobs right after they came back from Christmas vacation. “What a thing to do before the holidays,” the employee said, shaking his head in disbelief.</p>
<p>“Everyone dreads getting caught in an elevator with him,” said another.</p>
<p>Yet another former employee remembered how Jobs “ripped me a new one” for failing to deliver a project that met his high standards. Jobs sidelined the employee, who quit the company a couple of months later after working there for nearly a decade. *</p>

<p>Harvard, Yale, Penn, & Columbia seem to have produced the most billionaires.</p>
<p>Top 3: Harvard, Stanford & Wharton. Coincidentally (or not) they also have the best graduate business program (MBA).</p>

<p>Harvard -50
Stanford - 30

Yale - 19</p>
<p>this was 2008 though (ie pre-financial crisis)</p>
<p>^^How many started out rich?</p>
<p>As far as entrepreneurs starting their own businesses no school comes close to MIT. Not every entrepreneur becomes a multi-millionaire but it certainly beats working for a salary. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The study is based on a 2003 survey of all living MIT alumni, with additional detailed analyses, including recent verification and updating to 2006 of revenue and employment figures.</p>
<p>-MIT alumni have been creating new businesses at the rate of around 1,000 per year for the past 20 years. **That is one new business created for approximately every two students graduating every year. (grad + undergrad). **</p>
<p>-An estimated 6,900 MIT alumni companies with worldwide sales of approximately $164 billion are located in Massachusetts alone and represent 26 percent of the sales of all Massachusetts companies.</p>
<p>-4,100 MIT alumni-founded firms are based in California, and generate an estimated $134 billion in worldwide sales.</p>
<p>I like to use objective and qualitative data, so here is Forbes’ 2009 (during the financial crisis) list of Billionaire Universities:</p>
