Or in other words there will be an eventual paradigm shift and employers will look at who you are rather than where you went to school. Eventually, junior will get advice from the guidance counselor on how to get ahead by being smart and yet hard-working instead of shoving everyone into the you need a degree mindset. It may take a while but the pendulum will swing.
Sure there will always be Harvard brats and community organizers with enough money to run for president but in the business world there will be a shift.
Unfortunately, the gap from rich to poor will widen and then the bleeding heart socialist folks will push for the everyone gets a trophy attitude again and we'll go back to taking another lap around the desert for 40 years.

You have forgotten about the social nature of humans...and how well you maneuver yourself in the org that wins the day rather than competence alone.
Then with large bureaucratic orgs, there is no distinguishing one ant from another..they are all expendable.
Geezus for a decade or more now I have been proclaiming that the US was going to return to the mean of a 1910 economic demographic...Few Robber Barron's, smallish MC and large working poor class.
The economic circumstances that made it otherwise no longer exist. American labour no longer has a monopoly on being the only labour market in town. Now foreign workers and technology via for the same jobs.
You will work for less if you are hungry. so far govt largess has picked up the slack. when the govt can't do that anymore...guess what..
