There are a lot of stupid people breaking $250k/year. When you get out of school, you'll discover that the correlation between intelligence and income is low.

There are dumbasses who succeed in investment banking on account of sheer stamina and frat-boy charisma. Also, real estate is a "profession" in which idiots thrive, because they are closer to the animalistic/territorial emotions involved in that game than smart people. Finally, there are some people in prestigious careers (doctors, lawyers, and, yes, even professors) who are not low-IQ people, but are still idiots... and you'd be amazed how uninformed many of them are. Idiocy has a lot more to do with provincial attitudes and willful ignorance than an IQ score.
