For elites, education is sort of about academics, but it also is about how to act rich. (“Act elite,” if you prefer.) There is competition for elite jobs, but to even qualify for those jobs you have to act elite. Knowledge is more like a minimum. How you act, socially, is what will get you hired. A lot of what happens in less-elite spaces is like a watered down version of this dynamic.
