1. From the classroom to the workforce
A bright student at an early age, Fiorina attended Stanford coming straight out of high school, where she would eventually earn her BA in philosophy and medieval history.
During her summers, she worked a variety of jobs ranging from hair salons to secretarial work to help pay the costs of school. Attending UCLA school of law, Fiorina dropped out after her first year, feeling like she was better suited to get right into the work force.
Nearly four years after dropping out of law school, Fiorina was a successful sales rep for AT&T, but would head back to the classroom to earn her masters in business management and marketing from the University of Maryland; she would later earn another master’s degree in management from MIT later down the road.
