There were these companies, and they paid really well. We're talking 6 figures right out of undergrad well. And not just 100,000 either... like 150k for a guy his first year removed from his undergraduate degree. These companies were paying so well that other industries had to up the ante to attract tallent. Law firms were strained to increase their pay to try to keep high-level recruits. Technology and Internet firms like Google had to offer uber comfy perks and massive pay just to compete for the best. You would think that any company paying so well would be able to hire some pretty fucking smart people. These companies had applicants from all the Ivys. They had applicants from MIT and Stanford, from Oxford and Cambridge, and from IIT (in India) and prestigeous colleges all around the globe. You would think that with all the competition for these coveted jobs which paid so well (and also led to amazing career opportunities!) these companies would have hired the brightest, most skilled, talented, driven, and competant individuals the best universities in the world could provide.

You would think that, but you are wrong. Because, as I am told every day, the only people they hired were dumbasses. How did this happen?

Discuss.

	The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.
