Not trying to impress at all... see the rest of the sentence and paragraph, its just background of the environment where I did meet people with a degree and low IQ

For the comments... it's clear I did choose a bad word here. Should I have say computers, all known programming languages, Microsoft, cisco, or whatever in 20 years... if linux was so easy for everyone 20 years ago.

Didn!t mean that I've high IQ just because I use Linux or something like that... neither i'm looking for congratulations.

My only point is that having a degree may not be only related to a high IQ and the other way around.

Yet all statistical data on this proves you wrong. STEM degree holders have high IQs, no need to get insecure over it.
Maybe because statisticians (with their degree and correspondent IQ) never did reach really clever persons without a degree that I've known to perform an IQ test... or because they didn't choose some of the STEM degree holders, authors of real horror histories at work, or with the brain of a vegetable, that I did know.

Who knows :)

Anyway, don't want to discuss about if I'm wrong or insecure, but about the topic, have a nice day!
