Glob 11/29/24 3:49:47 AM #4:	Kai_Laguna posted... Essentially 0%, the vast majority of executives have privileged origins. I would imagine this is true. Getting a good job and climbing out of poverty is possible for people who arent born into privilege, though its not purely down to hard work. But even if you manage that, youll often find you hit a ceiling somewhere, and the people above that ceiling have spent their whole lives there. <cite>Glob posted [p:983115921] in What would...

realnifty1 11/29/24 11:05:57 AM #15:	Of a Chevron type organization, nearly 0% just because there are so few slots. Of a fairly successful company, if you made it your goal and took the courses and did the things starting when you were 20, like 5-10%. I know someone that just got promoted to C-level of a billion dollar company and they did not come from any exorbitant privilege, but it took them a decade with the company and they were earmarked on hiring as a future executive more or less. <cite>realnifty1 posted [p:983117874] in What would...
