Let me preface this with "Fuck the trump cabinet, they are both evil and unqualified".

But the thing I never understood is the need to have people with Degrees in leadership positions. A PHD doesn't exactly mean you are smart or a good leader, it just means you were privileged enough to study for 7+ years without starving. Especially since the degrees usually barely overlap with their respective areas.

The only thing it brings us is a bunch of rich privileged assholes in charge that all have never worked a job other than "business consultant" in their lives.

PhD programmes are almost always paid. You usually need a masters or at least a bachelors to get selected for one, but in civilised countries those are free / subsidised too.

But I agree that a doctoral degree shouldn't be a requirement to hold a leadership position. A leader can always ask advisors about things they themselves do not know about.
