Some of the dumbest people I've met have PHD's. Couldn't even balance a checkbook.
So are you suggesting some of the smartest people you met were uneducated? if not then what’s your point?
“Some of the dumbest people I’ve met have PHD’s. Couldn’t even balance a checkbook.”
It doesn’t mean they’re dumb it means they’re intelligence has a different focus. My husband is a PhD/Physicist. I’m the one who handles the technology in the home because he’s not good at it. OTOTH, I doubt if I’d be good at what he does.
So making a blanket statement that if someone can’t balance a checkbook he’s “dumb” is just ... well ... DUMB!
