Nowadays, you go to university, get an MBA and you get to run a brewery —> then you get to run an airline —> then you get to run a semiconductor plant —> then you get to be Farming Minister. And you probably sucked at each and every one of those jobs because you never really understood what you were doing at any of them.

That is so true. A bunch of frat boys ran a consortium of retail stores with no apparent real-life similarity, and three of them from that portfolio that I know of recently went out of business: RiteAid pharmacies, PartyCity party supplies, and JoAnn Fabrics. Of the three, there is no substitute for JoAnn's full line of goods, and it may be the same for PartyCity. At least not in our large metro region.

My wife is very upset about JoAnn Fabrics. A huge loss, with nothing like a replacement in sight.
