Some of the most clueless people I’ve ever worked with were Harvard grads, some whom also attended the Kennedy School of Government. They were overflowing with confidence and smarminess, like used car salesmen, but had little actual knowledge or ability where it mattered. The only thing they excelled at was self-promotion.
Sounds perfect for government service.

Hah! One boss I had went there. He was the kind of guy that lived in Boulder CO and took vacation at Santa Cruz CA. He called to tell me they weren’t going to pay me what I asked and I just hung up. Never talked to him again. Couldn’t stand the guy, he just irked me.
