> Too stupid for college. I don't know if anyone is truly stupid in every way. Everyone has their speciality.

I think "stupid" is the wrong word there; too many other connotations. And I think that the root issue would be something different: A learning style order/pace that's a bad match for the one common to classroom learning, if the specific professor teaches using just one or two methods to convey the information, etc.

I'm doing well professionally, but there was a certain mismatch between my learning style and the classroom teaching style. I made it work for me in the end, though.
