10. Ready to get his feet wet

Donald Trump graduated from Wharton in 1968 with a bachelor’s degree in economics. A short while after that, he joined his father’s company where he got his feet wet in real estate development, constructing and selling houses and apartments in New York City. Merely 3 years after receiving his degree, Trump inherited his father’s company, sitting as E. Trump & Son’s president, growing it exponentially and later renaming it the Trump Organization.
