Look, you could get two Master's degrees as well. It just takes a lot of luck and time.. People know this.
Let's take me for example. When I entered university, I had no prior fancy knowledge of higher high school math/economics/philosophy/etc like my over-privileged rich classmates did. When I started out, I knew squat, nothing, zero. I had to study 14 to 16 hours per day (as much as the Med students studied) just to catch up all the high-class education I missed. I struggled very hard in Economics classes and they were just like "bahahah, I know this". Yes, I got my degree in the end. It was one of the toughest battles of my life. Many got left behind (15% of people graduated.. sad number), but I sure was proud when I stood there among those who made it.
Anyway, I know of myself that I could pull off a Master's degree or two (or even a Ph. D., MD and so on) for the simple reason that I think at that level already and yes, many people don't. Consequently, I'm not worried about my intelligence compared to anyone because I know I can get there too.
Not all of us were lucky enough to have had a perfect educational timeline.. Some of us had to fight really hard to make it all the way through.
