These gentlemen did not became CEOs overnight. They have sacrificed their life, counting to decades and lots of hard work, failures and break-ups just to get to where they are now. Aside from their bachelor degrees they pursued further studies. Currently, most CEO positions and top executives in large businesses and governments are acted by MBA graduates. It does not really matter what field of Engineering you will choose to be able to be a CEO.

Moreover, before taking an MBA you will still need to finish your technical degree. Engineering will give you a jump start and will play a big role. Your roots will define on how you think, act and be big in the industry.
