Redditors, what screams "I'm educated, but not smart"?
- People on all of the university subreddits asking things like, "What percentage of my grade in some specific class with some specific prof is determined the by the final exam?" WE HAVE NO IDEA. Just email the prof, go to their office hours, or ask after class.

- Well, the last time this was posted the top answer that I liked was "thinking there is only one right way to do something."
>Usually, they want to only do things the way they were taught and have spent years mastering. If you introduce a new way (even if it's better), they're intimidated because they doubt their own ability to learn it.
>They have learned the rote motions, but not the underlying concepts.

- My brother dated a woman with a PhD that was educated a little beyond her intelligence level. She was all about education and and had a fair amount of self worth invested in it as well. What drove me crazy is that she had no respect for skilled trades people and didn't seem to recognize that other people have just as much sweat invested in their careers. If she didn't understand it, it must be easy.
