'Education' has become too big of a tent. Hoe may kids come out of college 'educated' in art or womyn studies?
Photography is interesting, but you even if you have a degree in it, you should not be considered college educated.
I can see why education run second to IQ in this matter ( I am surprised that it runs ahead of party affiliation).
I am usually suspicious of anything I read in the newspaper, even the WSJ, so I am happy to hear that Christopher Shea is willing to double check things. Very good of Bryan to mention it.
One of my Favorite Mark Twains quotes is "I don't let me schooling get in the way of my education."
So the fact that IQ more important than education does not suprise me. I remember my undergrad Financial Markets Professor (PHD in Finance) stating the the Dow Jones Average was an important market index. She had a lot of schooling in the field but was not very educated.
