I’m a sales manager right now and my Eastern counterpart doesn’t have a college education. Getting a bachelor’s in marketing and business administration is an absolute worthless major. You learn more about business in your first month in your first job than you do in all of college. If you’re going into STEM then I see the value of a college education, but outside of that not really.
Most degrees are worthless. What they say about your character is valuable though.

Most jobs I have had require a degree, and it's unnecessary.

A college education used to be a filter, it's really not right now.

Not going to lie, I would have called them out for being credentialist suckers and would have leaned in on SAT/ACT/GPAs to figure out if they were affirmative action. Actually I probably would have straight up asked the AA girl since she was such a bitch to that Marine.
To be honest, she probably is somewhat intelligent even if she did get some help and her IQ really is that high. She would be a lot more intelligent if she escaped her east coast college town bubble and expirienced the world.

So satisfying to watch Ms biotech super brilliant have to deal with her 6th place ranking, and also how she and the Yale grad crawfished their way back to how the IQ test is now flawed and not a good measure of one’s intelligence after they find themselves trailing the USMC guy who they demonized as being their inferior in intelligence.

Same thing I told my wife. Knew that chick was a liar right off the bat, and then came all the “disorders”. I was like yep, she’s in the bottom half of the group

Nothing in that video gave anyone with common sense a reason to rate the colorful asian guy anything but bottom 2.

Asian and whites who attend Ivy League schools are the best and brightest. By a landslide.



Posts like this are why I want affirmative action to die. You don’t think the black and Hispanic grads are among the best and brightest?

I know black Ivy grads and they are objectively brilliant people. The black chick in the video is annoying but she’s not an idiot.

The white guy scored a 94 on the ASVAB when entering the military. Apparently, the average is 50.
Some guy who regularly posts here was told by Army & Navy recruiters that he had the highest ASVAB score in his state his Junior year of High School.

Did everyone miss the fact ol' Tyler is manspreading all over their dumb asses in those 2 pics?

Also didn't Maria say she expected the test to be about social media?

Tells you all you need to know.

I don’t think you understand how college admittance works in the Ivy League. It is overwhelmingly biased against whites and Asians.

Overwhelmingly.

So if I meet a white/Asian male under the age of 35 who graduated from there - he/she is likely in the 99% of intelligence.

If I meet a black or Hispanic person of the same background - they are smarter than the average person but the jury is still out on whether or not they are in the same league with the first group.

My son’s best friend (Asian kid) had above a 4.0 GPA from an advanced school, perfect 36 on ACT, Merit Scholar, valedictorian, and even started a successful charity in his hometown. (Wait for it)

Denied by every Ivy League school.

If he was a black female, he would already be Vice President of the United States.

It blows my mind how some people think that it’s impossible for anyone in the military to be intelligent.

Some of the smartest people I know were in the military. A good majority of them joined right out of HS. Most of them weren’t in a situation to be able to afford to go to college without getting in major debt.

I never went to college. I joined the Army 6 weeks after HS graduation. I retired from the military when I was 38. I lived in Panama, Germany and Thailand. I know for a fact that I would have never left Louisiana if I would have gone straight to college. 20 years of traveling the world is way more valuable for intelligence and life experiences than living those same years in Louisiana.

Fully admitted but merely traveling the world doesn’t boost one’s IQ.

Evidently consistent and heavy masturbation in early adolescence doesn’t hurt it.

Don’t ask me how I know.

A friend of mine and OT favorite John Hennessy never sent to college and started and asbestos removal company right out of high school and now runs a controversial yet very successful American super car company.

He also snagged one of the most beautiful women I know and this was way before he became a household name. He's far from a male supermodel.

Who would have believed drive and ambition would take you far?

Man I was disappointed.

Feel like I missed out on an opportunity for an adventure.
I had an 81 but my line scores were high in the right places. GT was 128.
