You know there's a problem in society when I know someone who has an IQ of 176, maths degree from Cambridge, and still struggles to find jobs paying the amount he feels he should be paid.
It's either you make your own business or you get lucky landing a crazy good job being CEO or something close to it.
Thoughts?

You know there's a problem in society when I know someone who has an IQ of 85, no maths degree from Cambridge, and still struggles to find jobs paying the amount he feels he should be paid 1,000,000,000$.

When you're smarter than 99% of the population, you would probably feel that you should be paid accordingly.
>>7704191
You get paid for producing something that people need and selling it, or for producing something and convincing people that they need it, or producing something... or producing something..
Just because you have a high I.Q. doesn't mean a god-damn mother-fucking thing.
Has math degree from Cambridge and can't get a job? Sounds like this person did a shit-tier job. Sounds like this person can't network. Sounds like this person can't communicate well with others. If shit doesn't get handed to you in this world, then you learn how to take it. This faggot obviously isn't as smart as you make he or she out to be.

Getting paid for the amount of work you put in not your I.Q your I.Q can go up your ass

There's more to life than your intelligence
You might be bright, but you're also an imbecile

why should someone be paid more for a trait they were born with?
>>7704191
LEL
you get paid based on how much money, IP, funding, etc. you cant bring to your employers
>struggles to find jobs paying the amount he feels he should be paid
no different than those faggots that want 15 bucks to work in fast food. what you feel you deserve and what you actually deserve are likely very different
>>7704374
Honestly, fast food workers do a fuckton more useful and difficult work than, say, a project manager making ten times as much.
>>7704397
If the work is harder, then why can't they do the easier job of working as a project manager?

you are compensated in line with the value you add/provide to an enterprise
>work at wall street as a trader/quant/any jobs that literally only require high IQ (i.e. refer to HFT firms that hire physics PhDs) and a reputable school
>make >$1m in a few years of 100hrs/week + adequate use of social skills
Otherwise, what would you consider to be a high amount? Whatever that amount is, it wouldn't be attainable based on IQ alone, especially if all the given individual has is a high IQ and some undergrad knowledge

99% of all jobs are rutine. Managing a company isnt a gift. Its dedication. Working 12 hours at Donalds everyday is dedication. No matter the goal of the work.
>>7704160
An undergraduate maths degrees is actual garbage in the UK. You either fail or obtain a first with an average of 85%+.
So you find a £25k starting job or you apply for a PhD
You're applying for funded PhD positions with 200 other people with high firsts. You basically need to start planning for PhD at the start of your second year. You NEED a summer internship in research or you will be laughed out the door at your interview despite your 95% average, unless you're planning on self funding.
Then, if you get your PhD you're in the same situation you were in with your BSc/MMath, unless you get a post-doc. The job market is swamped with mathematicians with PhDs.

The only true smart person problem is being smart enough to want to do things, smart enough to know how things ought to be, smart enough to see broken systems and deficits in people's behavior, smart enough to see where things are going to go, but not quite good enough to do anything about.
In my case I can rationalize it away to an extent, because I'm a bit mentally crippled and pain addled. But I know. I know for everything I want, for everything I know IF I JUST COULD, I know what it needs to be. And I'm just never good enough.
With an IQ like that, ehy isn't he making his own business?

Yes but do you have a high IQ or not? All the rest are feels.

Is a PhD worth getting in math, or is it good enough to just get a bachelor''s or masters?
>>7704160
You know there's a problem with IQ-tards who despite having a high IQ can't figure out that high IQ isn't a guarantee of a job.

>you are compensated in line with the value you add/provide to an enterprise
No
You are compensated in line with the PERCEIVED value you add/provide to an enterprise. At most. Unless you are good at politics.
And in science there are well known examples of better scientists being squeezed out of positions by lesser ones. And it is not forgotten.
