Eduction & knwldge r 2 dif thing... I read Somwhere Eduction ends wit collge but knwldge ends with life... Only bookish knwldge cannot shell out in real terms... It can make you happy & proud but can give you the real knowledge that is needed to hav a good career...
I think intelligence as far as IQ is still praised,but in life now u need 2 b more than just book smart...
Its more abt decisions u think, whether financial, educational or any life decision, that determines how "smart" you really are.
