    And every time they've been wrong in my experience. Sure there's some learning to actually apply and use it, but it's never been straight useless.

    In hard science degrees like chemistry and molecular biology the employer is actually milking new hires for the skills you got during your PhD, for a few years. These skills are very much not useless.

    Never once said that to a new hire. I have lamented that not all schools teach some basic things, but I've never thought they were taught the wrong things, just not everything needed.

    Yeah I've worked with those people and they are terrible at their jobs.

    Any place that you could work for that would say this is run by fucking idiots, who are likely doing a techically legal, elaborate fraud.
