   @LouisConde @poastoak he's wrong, and for the reason you said. HBS is supposed to mean you don't need to wait. "Wharton" is supposed to mean "you need to hire this guy before your competition sucks him up"

     @LouisConde @poastoak this of course regardless of the truth - that is what people that pony up the money for it are sold. And on top of that I think many of the business schools specifically work on ensuring people have a job lined up **before they leave**

     @sickburnbro @LouisConde @poastoak as the boomers with real work experience retire or die from Ivy League teaching positions, the connections they had no longer exist and the businesses are also defunct, having long since been financed into oblivion. As a result, Harvard becomes about as valuable as your local community college since there isn't some secret curriculum being taught, and the standards have obviously and measurably fallen off as well.
     
     These used to be institutions where the crazy geniuses were literally bought and begged to come work there, since they could be hyper focused on their little slice of whatever thing they were good at, while avoiding the politics present in the public sector. Now, everything sucks.
     
     Its hard to overestimate the level of shit we are going to be in once the consequences of this come to pass. Even articles like this palladiummag.com/2023/06/01/complex-systems-wont-survive-the-competence-crisis/ understate the severity. Its not just complex systems, its basic reward pathways which are breaking down. The fact that I'd rather take investing and housing advice from Nick Rochefort instead of a Harvard grad just puts me ahead of the curve. People still screaming at the credentialed when shit starts breaking down are going to be severely disappointed.
