3. What is Chief Executive Officer - CEO?
A chief executive officer (CEO) is the highest ranking executive in a company. Their first responsibilities include making major corporate decisions, managing the overall company and resources of a company as well as being the main point of communication between the board of directors and corporate operations.
The role of CEO differs from one company to another depending on the size of the company and it’s overall structure CEO of Smaller companies often has a much more hands on role in the company where as larger companies, the CEO typically deals with only higher level company strategy and directing overall growth.

4. About my future career
CEOs work from their company, office and sometimes home.
The salary range varies for CEO but the average for CEOs range usually between $582, $946, 406. The salary can vary widely depending on variety of factors.
The CEOs surveyed reported that they work hours per week and hours per day. They also spend an average of 2.5 hours in meetings every day.

5. Does my job has a chance of becoming automated?
Being a Chief Executive Officer means you have to make professional and personal connections with other organizations.
You have to be able to manage and make strategic ideas for the company and present your visions of the company to your employees.
I don’t think a robot can all that and more.

These are skills for the job I still need to learn:
Starting to work and intern in business corporations

8. This is what appeals to me with this career…
CEOs set the tone and the vision for their companies
You make a lot of money
Women currently hold 29 (5.8%) of CEO positions in Standard & Poor’s 500 and I want to be one of the women who make it.
This is what appeals to me with this career…

9. These are some things I find less appealing about this career…
In some cases, the CEO of smaller company’s responsibility becomes muddles. For example in a smaller company or in a company’s start-up phases, the chief executive officer may also be serving as the chief financial officer (CFO) and the chief operating officer (COO) which leads to lack of clarity as well as an overworked executive.
