And yes, there are plenty of programmers who might not be great plumbers or mechanics.
I'd take that bet
IQ is largely destiny.

I find it crazy that you people think it makes sense to force kids to attend school for no benefit to themselves or society.
I find only the ignorant don't understand the value of a basic education. It has benefits. Lots of them.

We look down on and stigmatize along of work that this country requires.
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.
