[quote=Anonymous][quote]Hold up -- isn't one's income more a factor of their choice of field? For instance, if you take three identical liberal arts grads and one becomes a social worker and one becomes a professor and one becomes a management consultant, how is it that the management consultant apparently gets credit for being the smartest because he or she makes the most money? I happen to live in a wonderful neighborhood in Silver Spring filled with more of the human service type professions and fewer of the management consultants. This says nothing about the intelligence of the parents or (given your proclivity for eugenics) the inherited intelligence of the children.

This! And FYI those in the sciences on average make no where near what most people expect considering the difficulty of the schooling.[/quote]

Higher SES is defined on the national scale not the DCUM world where anything below 500K a yr is considered poor. The engineers and researchers making 100K are in the higher SES bracket. Lower SES is making minimum wage or barely a living wage and not being able to make more because both parents barely have a high school education.

Liberal arts majors in general tend to have lower IQs than STEM majors.
