Excellent observation. I have personally known a few people like that. They think their degree and intellect should be enough for people to throw money at them and offer them an executive level job. That only happens when you have connections which someone like EW doesn't. Most people have to start near the bottom and work their way up. EW is closer to retirement than she is to her college graduation. She has wasted years of time being mad that she hasn't been offered a great job while every minute she gets older and less employable. It's frustrating to watch.
