Michigan Governor Rick Snyder earned his undergraduate degree, MBA and law degree from the University of Michigan - all by the age of 23. After teaching at U-M, he worked as a tax accountant at Coopers & Lybrand - now PriceWaterhouseCoopers. He then joined computer company Gateway and helped it grow from a little over 700 employees to a FORTUNE 500 with more than 10,000 employees before leaving to form his own successful venture capital firm.
