I'm pretty convinced that as a senior in college, I am significantly better educated and more intelligent than maybe 75% of all college grads overall, but I've thought about this for some extent and it seems useless. Because I don't have a degree I can't earn very much at all regardless of how much I know. So what good does being intelligent/educated (minus a degree/certification) do for an individual?
edit: people getting a materialistic impression from this post so moved this up here;
So being intelligent can not and will not guarantee one security, safety, health, success, fame, fortune, wealth, physical well-being, love, friendship, happiness, satisfaction, nor a sense of achievement. So what exactly is being intelligent good for?
