Agree with you on this, but the fact is the DON’T have the people skills because of the focus of their education.

I was just saying that in real life people do whatever they want often times overlooking hard objective data in favor of subjective opinions.

I do think that you make a great point about creativity and people skills in management.

In real life, what is the ratio of managers to employees? Numerically, do all creative people have a chance to become well-paid managers?

IMHO, the best education is like good insurance. Education puts a floor on your earning potentials.

These days I’d say networking and people skills are key to getting even the first job out of college … not to mention prestigious internships.

Test scores, GPA, education, etc., give you a better chance of establishing those essential connections and recommendations. But they’re not enough in and of themselves.

I know plenty asians who’re both techniquely creative and great team leaders and who have no chance in advancement. And then I think about the management I know who’re exclusively white and European/American and imagine putting them next to those wonderful attributes you mentioned they all supposedly have because they were not damaged by their non-asian parents. I can only shake my head.
