Harvard and most of the other Ivy League Schools really aren't that good. Anything they do, any course or degree they offer can be found as better in some Public and Private schools that aren't in love with themselves. All the Ivy League Schools can do is attract the sons and daughters of the filthy rich. The privileged leisure class. Harvard itself isn't that great.
The kids that go into are that smart, however. So smart that they're not accustomed to having to work for high grades. Learning is so easy for them that they forget how to apply themselves.
And when they get out into the real world, they don't know how to work. Being smart doesn't do you that much good in the Real World. You have to actually work. And that is something few of them know how to do.
Companies that produce things, companies that need Engineers and Architects and original thought generally steer clear of them.
That's why so many are lawyers and doctors.
Not knocking either but those folks live in a world of their own. They just do.
There are probably more unemployed Ivy League graduates than any other.
And that fact is what drives them into the Deep State. They aren't much good for anything else.... Subterfuge, lying, manipulating, politicking, etc.
Civilization might just be better off without the Harvards of the world.
