No no no no no no no.

This is simply not the case.

CEO's and the executives of major corps are hired on association. Often time these people are proven faliures but they "run in" the elite circle. (and it is a circle)

The trick is to break into this circle. It can be done two ways, the easy way, born into it and the hard way go to school, make friends with the kids "in the circle."
