Why anyone confuses what it takes for academic success with what it takes for financial success baffles me. It's like there's One True system for success and it requires good grades.
I know very wealthy guys (real estate investors) who can't log into their home wifi. They're just good with people, and can do basic math.
Hell, I'm a high school dropout and I billed my clients over $300k last year.

If you don't have enough of it, you will struggle with a lot of things. But having it alone doesn't tell you what kind of field you can succeed in. I bet the wealthy real estate investors do have IQs that are well above average. (Not knowing how to use certain technologies is not a good indicator of IQ).
