>if you graduate with a STEM degree you are smart and intelligent
Why does this myth persist?
Its because of this myth, loads of STEM autists get hired by Wall Street for their "perceived intelligence", and whoops, look what happened in 2008 and 2011, and again in 2016.

Because the STEM fields are the only fields where intelligence might help somewhat to grow successful.
All other fields don't require intelligence ranges of above 110 for success.
The age where ingenuity was useful are now over at last. This is a good thing. Selective breeding for intelligence ruined the west.

Implying the banks cared
Implying intelligent people could have prevented it.
It'll happen again and everyone knows it.
Actually studies have shown iq correlates well with college majors and stem degrees indicate higher iq.
So it's not actually a myth

>mfw doubting my ability to finish a CS/Civil engineering degree
>IQ 109
I guess there's hope for me if I quit slacking and aquire some ambition.
I studied Psychology in undergrad, and now I'm an MD, making $380K annually. I reckon I have an IQ of 130-140.
Being able to do math past undergrad level is very useful to companies.
