- jiganti 16y agoYeah, I think I agree with this more. My guess would be that those with profound intellectual abilities gravitate towards fields with more "concrete complexity"- the math/science type careers that demand a considerable raw intelligence to have a good chance at making contributions. Fields like business/entrepreneurship don't necessarily require this sheer brainpower because it can be sacrificed for (and one might argue necessarily requires) things like street smarts/people skills, creativity, etc.
