You are right. But to play devil's advocate: what if very high intelligence individuals are not more likely to do science, mathematics or engineering? For a very rough approximation: if I remember well, SAT averages for Harvard/Yale/Princeton (more likely to be doctor/lawyer/executive) are very similar to (or even higher than?) scores for MIT/Caltech/Stanford (more likely to be scientist/engineer). So, could it be that it's not the high intelligence by itself that has said dampening effect on one's earning potential, but it's more about interests of the individual?
