        Just like the constituents of the S&P 500 index, the tech titans have also dominated the billionaires list.

        Surprised no one has come up with a tech version of the Oxford's PP&E, where you get a strong basis in political science, to help in the board room, but also computer science.

        That’s what I’m doing at Berkeley double majoring in data science and American studies. A good mix of liberal progressive studies with history and also computer science courses

        I would hope instead they encourage their kids to determine what they're good at and what they're interested in. Learning to code isn't a ticket to riches.

        Paul, how do you define technical background? Actual engineers? Or have worked at tech companies / been surrounded by tech?

        People who actually wrote code or built hardware at some point.
