What do college degrees and U.S. Presidents have in common?

The Presidential race is at the top of the news list, all day every day.  From Hillary Clinton's computer drama, to Bernie Sanders' attack on the Walton family wealth, to Ben Carson's plea for mic time, to Donald Trump's many bumps and blunders, we often wonder about the educational background of candidates and past presidents.  So I did some research.  And my thoughts about educational backgrounds of presidents was confirmed.  The majority of POTUS's have a political science and/or law background.  Out of the 44 presidents (and yes, I know Grover Cleveland served two separate terms), 25 had law degrees or apprenticeships and 13 were military people.  Some of the fascinating educational backgrounds of previous presidents include teaching, business (George W. Bush was the only president with an MBA), economics, history, journalism, tailor, and geology.  In the case of Abraham Lincoln, he was self-taught including his understanding of the law.  In the current presidential race, out of the seven candidates still running for office, three have a Bachelor's degree, three have Law degrees, and one is a Medical Doctor.  So who is eligible to become POTUS? According to Wikipedia, here are the requirements:

Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution sets the requirements to hold office. A president must:

• be a natural-born citizen of the United States;^{[note 1]}
• be at least thirty-five years old;
• have been a permanent resident in the United States for at least fourteen years.

A person who meets the above qualifications is still disqualified from holding the office of president under any of the following conditions:

• Under the Twenty-second Amendment, no person can be elected president more than twice. The amendment also specifies that if any eligible person serves as president or acting president for more than two years of a term for which some other eligible person was elected president, the former can only be elected president once. Scholars disagree whether anyone no longer eligible to be elected president could be elected vice president, pursuant to the qualifications set out under the Twelfth Amendment.^[69]
• Under Article I, Section 3, Clause 7, upon conviction in impeachment cases, the Senate has the option of disqualifying convicted individuals from holding federal office, including that of president.^[70]
• Under Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment, no person who swore an oath to support the Constitution, and later rebelled against the United States, can become president. However, this disqualification can be lifted by a two-thirds vote of each house of Congress.

Imagine my surprise that there is no mention of a college degree, only citizenship, age, and residency requirements.  Subconsciously, though, I believe the expectation is some sort of schooling and lots of life experience.  How many of you thought you had to have a law degree to run for president?  Or have a political background?  You'll be happy (or not) to know that anyone who can fund a campaign can run for president as long as you follow the criteria above.  Of course, I am not discouraging you from getting a college degree.  In fact, I believe a college degree or certification is vital.  So as you research and decide on the person you want in the most important office in the land, what criteria will you look for?  And how will you decide on a major and career, whether in the political realm or otherwise?

*On a side note, SLCC just went through student government elections.  When we opened our box of puppet mascots back in August, we were having so much fun with them that we had to take some pictures.  And make a lot of noise.  Our initial pictures of the mascots include our new 2016/2017 SLCC Student Body President:
