Surely your son did not need a degree to work on the checkout in Tesco . |

Great place to study, meditate and drink, Suzanne. My lad did not want to go to Bangor (he got enough points) because it was " too academic". He would only go to a Welsh Uni (daft about Wales like his dad). Chose Glamorgan instead. Looking across the Snowdon range in all weathers is fantastic, but looking across the valley in Trefforest is quite good too. :-D :-D |

I almost get the impression that there's a current of 'I wish I was as intelligent as' here. Why ? |

I agree with Joy. How do you measure intelligence or cleverness? It's not always down to academic qualifications and learning.I think it's about how you apply what you know. |

I think Suzanne's OP was interesting. A Professor of something I don't even know anything about. And a very nice and modest man. |

I'd be lying if I didn't say that the people I have ( generally) thought most intelligent have been the ones who agree with me on the topics on which I am 'right' :-) ;-) |

better to have common sense than intelligence - the two do not necessarily go together |
