This has been going on a long time. But the best minds do not necessarily all end up in an ivy league school. For any number of reasons, some very smart people end up at a state university instead of an ivy or one of the so-called "public ivies." They'll then stand out academically like a sore thumb. But will potential employers notice? Not likely. A Harvard grad has got to be better than some guy who graduated from Sacramento State, right?

From the article ..... “...But the people entering journalism, or finance, or consulting, or any other “elite” profession....”

She considers journalism an “elite” profession? Even though she used quotes around the word “elite”, the very fact that she included journalism among the elite is very telling and is probably an opinion shared by most in the main-stream media.

I guess that’s why we have so many bubble heads (who have highly over inflated senses of their self worth) such as Soledad O’Brien annoying us today from the media.

Charles Murray at Cato has trumpeted this BA “bubble” too.

I can’t shake the similarities with the Komsomol and how communists sweep the single-minded into power. No critical thinking skill, they were outwitted by the most simple of folk.
