Well, I believe that college is a must for me even if many Businessman, Entrepreneur, CEO, Leader were able to be very successful without an education. I have a very strong drive and want to make it to the top but I was wondering what type of undergraduate degree would be best for me? I had a few ideas of what to study (Economics, Business Administration, Communications or similar degrees) but need help deciding, if anyone knows of another degree that would suit my goals better or which one I listed fits my goals. I also plan to go onto Graduate after experience (likely an MBA). I’m 18 and starting my 2nd year in college after this summer. Also, I was wondering if I should get a Masters in something (like economics, finance, etc., right after my undergraduate, but before my first job and MBA).

What should I study to get a high paying job relating to business and management that will also enable me to make informed investment decisions with my money (e.g. stocks, hedge funds, real estate, etc.,)?

So my questions in case the above is a little unclear:

1)What should I major in for Undergraduate? (I want to get a degree that enables me to get a high paying job while also knowing how to invest whatever I make into the economy like stocks, bonds, hedge funds, real estate)
2)Then should I go on for a Masters before first job (like economics, finance, and masters that doesn’t require experience *so exclude MBA for now*)
3)Any other advice for an aspiring millionaire.

Would the stock market succeed if every American were taught how to invest? How would this affect the economy?

I am not asking if it is possible to do this– certainly a challenge– but what would hapen to the markets if every person knew how they operated? If everyone invested at an early age in a moderate growth account of some kind (like a Roth IRA) we would have many more millionaires. Would this drive up inflation?

It is clear to me that there are several sources of poverty in America. And perhaps a way to solve much of the problem is to educate the masses to use their money wisely. A relatively small amount of money treated wisely can grow quite large over the course of 30 years. If we could truly do this– how would poverty be affected in this country?

Understandably not everyone will chose to heed this advice, but what difference would it make if they were exposed to the ideas as children rather than as adults in their 30s or 40s?
I guess I picked America since I teach in a public school system, here. Its an idea that I have had and am curious as to how to impliment it (and the effects of implimenting it). Most likely it would start in a school district and spread to others. Media/internet would certainly spread the word. I kept the question on America, since I see that as the limit of the sphere of direct influence– school districts are part of the local/state government. Still, it would not surprise me if it spread to other nations around the world, if it truly took root.

What could be the global impacts of this?
