OK there is a mix of subjects here.

Having a degree is nice but does not always mean success or all around intelligence.

I have met physicist who had PhD’s but yet were barely making it. Bill Gates does not have a degree. When Steve Jobs ran Apple neither did he. I went out with a high school teacher with multiple degrees but lacked critical thinking and had no clue of current events.

I had met a woman ran a hospital. When we went out she barked orders like she was still doing her job. It seemed that most conversations almost bordered on arguments. And yet she wondered why she intimidated men. It reminds me of something my dad once told me; it’s nice to be important but more important to be nice.

I my self would love to met someone intelligent and successful but still be a compassionate human being.
