That's cringe as fuck and explains why we're in this mess in the first place and only furthers my prejudice against universities. You're supposed to go to university to get an education, educators have been lying through their teeth this whole time and have a lot to answer for, scam artists, all of them.
Sadly, it's the way the world works. Once you get past a certain point in an organization, that position was filled because that person knew the right people, and only that.
And if you're lucky, they're atleast slightly competent. But it's one hell of a coin flip.
The problem I have with this is that people still insist on lying it's about education when in reality what you're paying for is a paywalled social club/self-study library designed for career orientated networking.
You are being taught directly that "who you know" is more important than literally everything else you could ever know combined.
That's the way the world works, and has always worked. We can hate it all we want, but its not going to change. And trying to teach kids to focus on their "studies" over their networking is how you have millions of degrees and no jobs.

You're not wrong, though.
"Well sure, it sucks having to flatter the king to get a royal ascent to do business - but that's just how it is!"
