I Think Grades Do Not Decide How Intelligent You Are

That is such a true statement, even though people request higher transcript notes, if you lack the social abilities you won't probably get the job or you are most likely to lose it before the others do. If a person sucks at math, no problem, if a person is good at physics no problem because none of this, none of this prepares you for the real life!

I didn't really "want" to learn at that age. But i became interested in everything as soon as it wasn't mandatory anymore. There's too much going on at that age to be able to concentrate i think. Its literally self esteem that holds me back because my grades weren't great as i was having issues at home. So i think its damaging to tell someone their worth in society on a piece of paper like that and then expect you to just get on with life with no direction/guidance.

I sorta want a smart guy operating an nuclear reactor I don't necessarily care about his social skills

Katerinafaith · 26-30, F

yeah about that job, you don't have to care but when the job requires human interactiion... I mean not every job is the same :)

unless of course you apply for jobs that require those things.

Katerinafaith · 26-30, F

yes but again, lacking the social abilities on the job, how will you manage, you get stuck at a point, and if you can not manage the job, why would your boss keep you employed? a degree is of course important but social skills to some extent is required too unless you are working in a special cell for only yourself without interacting any humans

ghosts

yeah there's no doubt about that. but i meant if you want to be a mathematician or physicist i would guess the emphasis would be more on coursework. but then what do i know.
