intellect has a very mild relation to academic results... look at steve and bill i know people who have 1st class and cant even hold a conversation cause they just mug and mug in their major and know nothing outside their major i feel you are oversimplifying things ... and your conclusion that one's pay is inversely proportional to one's intellect is very ah Q... because your LSE frens learn peanuts, they feel they are earning little because they are smart... its extremely ah Q.... and i also do not know what you mean by 6 figures, is it monthly or yearly?? it is really not that hard to earn annual 6 figures, 8.4k monthly is enough |

I admit I may be a little biased as my EQ is very low and my grades(not IQ) is above average. I feel it is unfair that people who party all day will probably end up with higher pay than me what with the current emphasis by employers to look for "team-leaders" blablabla...but the world's like that |

Dear Miss Young Lady "If I May Say So",
There is no solution to your gripe. Professions such as journalism and academia do not, and will never, pay as well. University degree brands are not always tickets to big paychecks. Look at the number of half-brained bankers wannabes out there. I have a family member who is paid obscene money working in a bank, and he talks rubbish, cannot manage his kids, divorced once, and is in danger of dropping dead from having a stroke. If you enjoy your vocation, then you have to accept the dollar value associated with it. The dollar value does not define your worth, but how much the industry is willing to pay. Perhaps the government has oversimplified things when we were growing up. Study hard. Do well in school. Good degree. Good job. Good money. Now that we are all out here, we realise while the formula works to a certain degree, there are many many exceptions. Yes, there is IQ, and EQ etc. And there are also paradigm shifts, technological advancements, deregulation of certain sectors etc etc. All these feed into the long financial reward formula. Hey, don't forget we are also in the middle of the great era of college dropouts building websites that are not-yet-profitable and selling them for billions of dollars ! Personally, I am not all sure academic achievements imply greater intellect. And intellect has not been proven to be proportionately rewarded. Last week I sat next to surgeon at a wedding dinner. he jokingly told everyone that doctors only ranked 7th on the scale of intelligence. The top of the scale were the mathematicians and the physicists. But while the doctor drives a Maserati, I remember my Math and Physics professors were driving bread-and-butter vehicles. |
