Nearby is a small town with a top 10, US college, average citizen is student or college grad. I always love when I go to the local brew-pub on Saturdays. I get there 10 minutes early, 1st on in the door, (after 20 years, no amount of bribery secures a place) to secure the best seat at the bar. While people wait to enter, 11 am minus a few minutes, college kids/grads knock me out of the way to grab the door, only to find it locked. Then they look around, see 50 people, and say, "it's not open yet?" (NO SHIT SHERLOCK!)
As I sometimes think, " no dumbshit," I usually just say " they open in X minutes." If a friend is nearby, I make a rude comment on rude/stupid people, but they're too stupid/arrogant to get a clue. Comes from living in "Johnson County, Kansas" (said with a Thearstion Howell The III accent).

No.. I don't.. Most people with a degree are programmed bots which can recite a million things from a book and can't do anything useful in the real world. The women I see are not that type of book beat lemming, at all.
I never went into a school after age twelve and I am more intelligent than 85-90% of people I meet. So no, I don't equate a formal education to intelligence. Intelligence, to me, is not mere knowledge but it is reasonable perception and comprehension mingled with a heightened sense of acceptance of reality. That is where your intelligence is. In those things.
