I was a great student at a great school, Wharton School of Finance.

I applied to only one college - the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania - and was fortunate to be accepted. After graduation, I headed to Wall Street and worked as I had dreamed.

I was an economics major, which I enjoyed because I had a good business sense.

I was going to get a degree in economics and be a teacher. But I couldn't afford to pay for the education. So I just got the MBA and not the doctorate. I loved it at Bain, and I've been there ever since.

I was a professor at Princeton University. And, in that capacity, I studied for many years the role of financial crisis in the economy.

I have no doubt that my M.B.A. from New York University's Stern School of Business was one of the best investments I ever made. It helped me climb the corporate ladder and become an entrepreneur.

I came out of my professional athlete career with a 450 credit score, no money in the bank to show for it, but I had an Ivy League degree. So I put that Dartmouth degree to good use and got a job on Wall Street. I hated it but used the time to make connections and become financially literate.

My most difficult class at Harvard Business School would have to be finance.

Even though I didn't get a business degree, I enjoyed learning about economics.
