Hi Darleen Shurgot; There are still a few examples of CEOs who worked their way up through the company. Micron's head worked his way up through the company, for example:

My impression is that wall street would just as soon see the CEO as someone born to wealth who never saw the other side of the business. People who've worked their way up tend to have a few rough edges. Check out how Forbes describes AMD's CEO as a failed ex actor/street fighter:
