Easier said than done no? Outside of school, where do you find people willing to work with someone worse than them?

  On every team, everyone except one is worse than someone else. On every team, someone is the worst. People work with those worse than them all the time, as those more experienced share their acquired wisdom with the less experienced ones. (Not to mention that you don't have to be the worst at everything. Ideally the places are switched in other realms of expertise.) For you personally, it means reaching outside of your comfort zone and doing something you're not sure you can do.

    You're unwarrantedly assuming a total order on team member qualities, even though in your fourth sentence you point out that in a vector model of skills that assumption is invalid. It's not the only one.

  The smart people always need other less smart people to do the things they don't want to do. There is always space for a worst of the team.

    That is what I thought. But not how it is playing out when applying for jobs that put me as the worst one (from my perspective anyway). Perhaps other factors are at play.

    Especially if you are willing to work hard.
