That is the dumbest arse post I've ever seen.
And yes, there are plenty of programmers who might not be great plumbers or mechanics.
And I'm not talking about compelling people. I'm talking about rational academic counseling.
I find it crazy that you people think it makes sense to force kids to attend school for no benefit to themselves or society.
This thread is the perfect example of what I'm talking about. We look down on and stigmatize alot of work that this country requires.
Yet when people graduate unemployment we bitch about crime and welfare.

I'd take that bet
IQ is largely destiny.

I find only the ignorant don't understand the value of a basic education. It has benefits. Lots of them.

The OP took shots at white collar jobs and the aptitude of those who get degrees (Especially STEM degrees).
That's the only shots taken ITT.
Me saying a person who on average will be many IQ cohorts above your average plumber (in terms of IQ) being able to do the job of a plumber is in no way insulting or "looking down" on plumbers.
