Former humanities major who couldn&#x27;t get a job other than reading admission apps reporting in!<p>There&#x27;s a veneer of truth in your dig, but ultimately I had very little actual decision making power.  Folks fitting your description were there to review applications and summarize them for higher-ups in the org, the deans.  When I was there, their main skill was in identifying applicants who fit the admission criteria defined and redefined annually by the Trustees and Faculty of the University.  You can make an argument that those people might be looking for the wrong things, but it does sort of upend your point.
