    The OP is just using our answers to form part of their thesis, thus gaining a degree themselves using neither hard work or intelligence thus disproving both parts of the original statement and negating the whole thread.

    Stop answering or this whole site might disappear into a vortex of contradiction!

    I have an engineering degree and don't know what those big words mean

    Out of interest what is it that the genius ended up doing?

    You can get 600 points in your leaving cert and get any college degree you want, but that doesn't make you intelligent. The intelligent ones will know how to apply themselves in the real world and find success, whatever that is relative to them.

    A builder, but a total master at it all, I mean every trade from the foundation up and a true work ethic to match. His cabinet and furniture making skills are amazing, a true craftsman. Most is self thought from experience as he had little choice as he is totally dyslexic. But he sees a problem and comes up with a solution. He can barely read and write but play him in chess or cards or give him a problem and then you see his natural intelligence.

    Always get a grown up to help you with the scissors.

    There's probably a positive correlation between the result someone gets in a degree and intelligence, but individual experiences will vary wildly. I know plenty of utter cappers who'll be obtaining a degree/have obtained a degree.
