Sorry for the misunderstanding

In my time (20 years ago) computer related Degrees didn't teach Linux (again, here in Spain).

I, years after leaving formal education, without any degree, have been giving talks at universities to engineering students.

My reference to linux was not 100% related to the IQ... but I did want to talk about working in tech and degrees, which I think, depending on the company/industry, may be a signal for me (rather than be 8 hours screwing the same screw in a car chain). By that I don't mean there is not people with a high IQ in a chain (even there is lot of people with a degree in car chains).

Of course, maybe I'm totally wrong, thanks for pointing that.

Update: To complete... what may affect IQ? education changes? can a person educated one way or another, develop different IQ? physiological (ADN, etc) changes? can mutations over generations change the medium IQ? social changes? can the environment, habits and traditions during the formative stage of a person affect the IQ? I think so... maybe I should start by asking: what doesn't affect the IQ of a person?
