How Elite Students Get Elite Jobs

I just think in the most naive way it seems like a missed opportunity. It's like if a book, if a bunch of artists who are really into doing collaborative art got together but they didn't do collaborative art or something. So I have actually a relevant piece of data. I once read this book about prestige and how elite students get elite jobs. And these places very much wanted to have students who matched the job on the kind of degree they got.
