i do Totally agree with Scott about not judging folks based on their education level but i'm going to comment on the opposite end of the spectrum. i've seen some students go through a Ph.D. program that quite frankly were freakin idiots. and can't believe they even made it through.
So just because you HAVE big degrees, i'm sorry but does NOT make you intelligent. i think getting your 'higher degrees' is more about being able to stand the duration Not necessarily a measurement of intelligence. at least from what i've seen in my experience.i see some people as smart and some as intelligent. the smart ones know one thing very well (or so they think).
the intelligent ones know way more than they believe about many genre's of things. and also have the knowing that there is Always more to learn.and i (personally) would MUCH rather hang around with the latter.
my motto (that a very intelligent colleague of mine used to say)
"the more you learn, the less you know"
-when you can see that, you've got it.
