That Master's Degree in 8th century Lithuanian art won't allow you to

Neither will that PhD in aeronautical engineering unless you have the
jog-getting skills to turn it into employment.

Getting a decent job isn't a matter of having a specific piece of paper,
it's a matter of marketing and selling oneself effectively. A lot of
very capable people have no talent at all for marketing.


Some truth to that, but the engineer may at least be able to get a job
at the Jiffy Lube while the art guy would not know which end of the
mop to used if offered a janitor's job.
