If you've put in a great deal of effort, and be among the best in the industry,

Any business-related degree is the same. Assuming they're from reputable universities.

You can get a unique "oh so famed" degree let's say Actuarial Science, but with mediocre results and also less than stellar work performance you'll climb nowhere high.

However if you get the most commonly sought degree, such as Accounting, but you constantly endeavor to mold yourself into a super accountant with a wide variety of superior business skills from different areas, chances are you're gonna climb sky high.

Also, there's something called specialist area too.
