>> If she had a degree in mining or business or ANYTHING practical
Keep in mind that quite a few of these “Rhodes scholars” start out with “real” degree plans... then when they can’t cut the mustard, they fall back to less ambitious (and less challenging) studies.
Back when I was a pup, the progression went something like this:
Engineering, Pre-med
Engineering... never mind the pre-med
Computer Science
Business Information Systems
Business Administration
ANY degree plan with the word “Business” in it
History
History of Rock ‘n Roll
“Diversity Studies”
This woman would have been much better off financially if she had skipped college and worked her way up the chain at Wal-Mart out of high school.
