Another one, Obviously you're not going to get one right off the bat, and guess what, you probably shouldn't. But guess what, there's still companies out there that only promote from within (like the one I work for). Over 90% of our management team in a company of over 50K employees hired in at the ground level. Oh and we happen to be one of the most successful and largest companies in Birkshire Hathaway's portfolio.

Granted my company isn't the norm, but simply put, a high level job doesn't necessarily require a 4 year degree either.
