			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I came across an interesting article this morning about what makes a billionaire.  The study was far from scientific, but it was fun and interesting. <span id="more-294"></span></p>
<p>So, if you want a greater chance of becoming a billionaire, I hope you were born in the fall.  That&#8217;s right, according to Yahoo, billionaires were more likely to be born in the fall than in any other time of year.  (I was born in October&#8230;) I especially hope you weren&#8217;t born in December, because that month had the lowest chance&#8211;sorry.</p>
<p>To become a billionaire, your parents should have had a skill and liking for mathematics and been employed as an engineer, an accountant, or a small-business owner.  Of the 657 self-made billionaires studied, these findings were the most common.</p>
<p>Interestingly enough, many self-made billionaires have never started or never completed college.  Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Michael Dell never did.  Is accounting 220 really killing your grades?  Consider becoming a billionaire. =)</p>
<p>Like I mentioned before, none of this was scientific, but it sure was interesting.  Realistically, becoming a billionaire isn&#8217;t in the cards for most of us, but just be smart with your money and you may surprise yourself what will come of it.  Best of luck out there!</p>
