In many ways, Ms. Maier is typical of France's intelligentsia, overeducated and underemployed. She studied economics and international relations at the country's elite National Foundation of Political Sciences, or Sciences-Po, before earning a doctorate in psychoanalysis.
Underemployed? I would think unemployable with credentials like that. What does she expect out of life? She's basically studied herself into a life of extreme uselessness. No wonder she got bored and rebelled.

She wouldn't work for me. Professional students is what we called them when I was a kid. They kept changing their majors in college and never seems to graduate or have enough credits in any one course to be employable and knowledgeable in anything. Most of them had parents that were just well off enough to carry this on for years. I have one friend who is very smart, but I cannot feature him ever working for anyone. He whips out his superior "education" at every opportunity and leaves you feeling totally inadequate. Meanwhile, I often wonder how he would have survived so nicely if it weren't for his parents investments.
