A large sample of randomly chosen college educated people will, on average, be more successful and "smarter" than a large sample of randomly chosen people without a college education.



Yep, I have. I'm sure "most" (as in a majority, right?) are pursuing a degree so they can pursue a specific career they are interested in.

From my experience, the people that call college grads "stupid" or "just following the path they think they have to take in life" have an inferiority complex. And it's just silly. If you did well without a college education, good for you. It doesn't change the fact that on average, a college grad will be more successful than his uneducated counterpart. Simply look at income data based on education.
