Recall, if you will, the first time you read Book 2 of Home­r’s Ili­ad. The sec­tion like­ly to have giv­en you the most trou­ble — unless, of course, you’re blessed with an obses­sive inter­est in ancient naval war­fare — is the much-remarked-upon Cat­a­logue of Ships, a run­down of not just the con­tin­gents of the Achaean army sail­ing to Troy, but also the ships they’re doing it in.

A university degree once distinguished its holder precisely because few people had one. As degrees spread, employers began demanding them as a baseline, and today many jobs that historically required a high-school education demand a bachelor’s degree, not because the work grew more complex, but because the signal became an entry fee. Everyone pays more; nobody stands out. That sentence describes far more of modern life than credentials. Replying to email quickly once demonstrated diligence. Then prompt replies became the norm, the advantage evaporated, and what remains is an expectation of perpetual availability. Consultants encounter a version of the same…
