The American population in 1965 was dramatically less educated than is the current American population. So back then, with far fewer people with a solid education, it was only 20x harder, and yet now that a college education is the bare minimum requirement, now it's suddenly 300x harder to find a CEO? I find that very hard to believe.
Also I'm pretty sure the implication is that everyone has the ability to go get an MBA (but is clearly just too lazy to do so) is pretty inaccurate. In the US, someone can easily accrue $100k+ in debt just to obtain that MBA, and few are in a place to put up that kind of an investment. Also obtaining said MBA is a far cry from a sure bet that the recipient is going to become a CEO.
It's not so simple as "get an MBA, become a CEO."
