You do too have a job. It's just the kind that pays intangibles.
“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.”

Standardized education often offers poor dividends for the brightest students. More often than not, giftedness is thought to be a guaranteed catalyst for opportunities unparalleled later in life.
Regressing to the mean is typically the opportunity they refer to.
As a philosophy, I've never understood why intelligence and success were positively correlated.

The most successful people are not always intelligent.
Often, all it takes is greed and the ability to rationalise/a lack of conscience.
