Jenny Sullivan Sanford, the now-apparently-estranged wife of South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford who has been getting a lot of favorable press, has an interesting entry in her bio: http://jennysanford.com/.
Her education was a BS in Finance from Georgetown University McDonough School of Business: http://msb.georgetown.edu/prospective/undergraduate/programs/finance/.
That's it - no law degree, no Harvard MBA.
With that, prior to meeting Mark Sanford, she ended up rather quickly becoming an Mergers and Acquisitions VP investment banker at a major NYC investment house. I could be wrong, but that usually means you get rich fast.
I don't know what her other connections might have been (not Mark Sanford - this was prior to meeting him), but this suggests that GU/MSB may have some strong mojo magic for networking and making the right connections. The bio mentions her career matter-of-factly, but this is really quite remarkable. There aren't a lot of BS degrees that put you in this kind of power track.
Not exactly a midcareer move, but worth a thought.
