Don’t say that with a “useless degree” in some Neo-marxist sociology field you can’t get a job. Young, indoctrinated Ivy League princelings are often still welcome into the halls of government and high finance.

I know two Ivy League kids, at Yale and Harvard, who studied gender studies and African-American studies, who both work on Wall Street.

Are they well paid? Are they good enough at what they do to deserve that pay? In otherwords, are they earning their keep in spite of their useless education? Or, did they get some overpaid sweetheart deal through connections?

Key word here may be "princelings". Are the two kids you've met children of elites?

In lots of organizations, the key question about a potential new hire is not "is he competent?", or "is he smart?", but rather "can I trust him to follow my agenda, come what may?". In other words, "will he be a reliable member of the team?"
