    If you pay a University enough money, they’ll give you any title or degree you want.

    Case in point, Trump has an economics degree from Wharton.

      Sort of. I got a biology degree which meant I spent a lot of time in and out of class with “pre med” students. It was a program my school was known for and significant portion of the student population. Of the 100 or so students I saw daily my senior year more than half are now doctors. And about of quarter of them do shit like this.

      They aren’t dumber or richer than anyone else, they just realized that you can gather a very large pile of money by selling bullshit to rubes.
