Well, to be fair, just how much learnin' doya need to make a sammich?

Being really educated doesn't mean you're smart. That's the closest I'll come to agreeing with Rush Limbaugh...now please roll your fat ass off into the sunset.

Define "smart". To obtain a master's degree or any bachelor degree requires some nominal amount of discipline and intelligence.>> ^Yogi:

Being over-educated

Capable of reasoning. Ask Neil deGrasse Tyson, even people who become doctors can be incompetent and dumb.

EDIT: Actually Noam Chomsky talks about this a lot how academics have all this training and they don't know how to figure anything out. He said he admires car mechanics more because it's a lot of times a more creative thinking process.

I think maybe you mean "over-educated" people may lack common sense.

No I mean some of them lack the ability to reason and think creatively. They just memorize things well.

really? I thought a key difference between high school and college was the utility (or lack of) of rote memorization. While you can breeze through HS with a good memory, college would require critical thinking.>> ^Yogi:

Depends on what you take...according to Institute Professor Noam Chomsky a lot of Academics can't think critically at all, and are idiots. I've seen some in my time bouncing around colleges.
