In your opinion, does having a university degree make one smarter than those who don't?

No but many jobs have a degree as a requirement. Many professions have it as a minimum requirement to be licensed.

Anyone can acquire knowledge anywhere, it is more possible with the actual environment..going to a university is to recieve formal education or to be prepared for a profession. In my opinion, a person who is smarter are the ones who have great common sense be it out of school or what more if they have aquired a degree. Those who made much and those who aimed good and clean reputation are also smart.

No. It proves you can finish something that you started and in many cases gets a foot in the door. You have to prove you can do the job once you have it in order to keep it. A degree does not make you capable.

Absolutely not.

It has the potential to do that through teaching thinking skills... Funny thing is that often successful companies are started by people with no uni experience

No, a degree is just memorizing what the powers that be want you to know.

That depends. It certainly makes one more disciplined and informed in many cases.

Nope. College is not for everyone.

A degree allows a person to work in a field that requires they continue to grow in order to climb the ladder of success and get better pay .

Learning extends one's knowledge not one's intelligence. A university degree doesn't even describe the amount of knowledge someone has.

More educated. Perhaps motivates a person to seek and learn more knowledge than they would have without having attended.

Makes them more educated but not more intelligent

no but admittance requirements serve as a filter to separate the qualified from the unqualified

Next year I might have one so definitely not.

It could in that subject but not in general

No all it proves is that you have the ability to learn and not how to use that learning

More institutionalised

Absolutely not.

Absolutely not

No not in the slightest

😭😭😭thats laughing until I cry by the way

Not at all.

Nah

Maybe you need to be "smart" already to study for a degree.

Are you serious? I've met college graduates who are so unintelligent, God does not believe it!

If you think knowledge is what makes a person smart then yes.

No the smartest person I know doesn't have a degree yet some of the dumbest people I know do.

No. It makes you educated. Plenty of dumbass educated people.

No, not at all.

It doesn't necessarily make people smarter considering the number of educated idiots there are; it does make one more "employable" though.
