I know a big 4 strategy consultant who has a bachelor and master degree in business who, for some reason, could only get a phd position at our local university of agriculture/brewery/bio-technology and wrote a pointless thesis about a sustainability topic he had zero interest in to get his stupid phd title. Now he is earning breath taking amounts of money by churning out power point documents so I guess his path was correct.
