I was not an English major. I just think it’s a weird question. The dumbest person I ever met was in the dental school at Pitt. It hurt my head listening to the crap she prattled about. But she’s a dentist now.


That doesn't mean she was the "dumbest person". Maybe you were not at the same level as her intellectually speaking

Yes, usually smart because usually well-read with excellent writing skills. Agree that it is a path to further graduate school, though, not immediate employment.

Smart. Extra smart if they pick up a few highly marketable technical skills in addition to the critical reading/writing skills of their discipline.
