Wondering, how the education path of CTO looks like? What college and what studies needs CTO to complete? Can someone explain this to me? I can't find anything interesting on the web.

There isn't really an exam or course you can take to "become a CTO".
IMO a CTO is just a very experienced architect. Get some experience architecting large scale solutions and maybe one day you will find yourself in that position. I think if you go out with the ambition of simply becoming a CTO you will be disappointed at the lack of immediate progress.

Management education helps for sure.

But what you really gets hired, is if do presentations professionally on digital change of our society and business. Where you tell the tech illiterate CEOs at business lunches at the local business chamber, how they gonna loose their business. If they don't do Blockchain AI and enact digital change.
😉😆

There are people who grind their way from human level positions all the way up to the executive level, but they are exceptional. In large companies, these are almost always people who were born wealthy and connected.

In small companies and startups however, Everyman gets executive promotions all the time. But the money is not quite as assured, and the work is MUCH harder.

You have to be at the right location at the right time and know the right people. That's all.

Oh, as I see, there's no way for me to become CTO one day in bigger company, but startups are also okay to be honest...but money is the thing....how much can CTO get paid in a smaller company / startup? From what I've seen on the web, that's somewhere around 120k$ per year, am I right? Maybe someone has better info than me?
Wait, that's still not 'a lot', I mean, that's a whole lot of money, but some programmers and designers get even more loool.

@RootPixl if your a programmer, get an MBA. Find a job at a consulting company like Deloitte, PWC, EY, KPNG, Accenture. Get promoted. Work there for 4 years.

Contact a high class headhunter company (one with a small baroque french architecture palace, garden a silver jaguar sportscoupe in the front and a family coats of arms steelworks on the front door) that finds CEOs. Deposit your resume. wait. and maybe you're lucky.

Or you do networking... or said presentations about digitizing the world. 😃

Seems pretty legit. What's the chance that anyone can become a CTO when he/she is starting from total 0, from nothing, from the start?

@RootPixl It's like everything in life. That depends on the education and the ability to put yourself in the shoes of others. Bonding skills are one of the most important skills in life. But even more important is on how to know to use your bonding skills for your advantage and on how to lead people.

Along the way you earn your laurels. Which will maybe come to attention somewhere.

@RootPixl you could research linkedin for CTOs and how they've got there.

@heyheni yeah, I forgot haha, I'll try to find something interesting, I'll post it later here, because maybe it's interesting topic for more guys here than just me.

@RootPixl cool, thank you!

Be friends with many CEO and fix their laptops.

I just came to day that your camelCase tag didn't work

@seraphimsystems well, it worked on the mobile /shrug
Also, other guys, I'm goin' to make an article on Medium soon (I just need to clean up some stuff there) about becoming a CTO using some resources I've found on the web. Stay tuned.

@RootPixl 😎 👍
