By the time Schwab completed his business degree, he understood a thing or two about stocks, investments, and the exclusivity of the stock market to the very wealthy. He decided to change this, and in 1974, he became the founder and chairman of Charles Schwab Corporation. Opening the first discount brokerage firm in the United States, Schwab made a business career move that ultimately increased market participation to eight million investors worldwide.
