Is there actually a correlation between university education, intelligence and high income?

Or is it just a scam on young people?

Last time I checked most lessons were freely available on internet, without paying $200000 gate keeping fee!

It's got nothing to do with that correlation. My point is that it closes off opportunities for smart-and-poor people. (Today's system also has drawbacks, but let's not forget that it does afford opportunities to people who wouldn't otherwise have them.)

Are you serious?

It got everything to do with it! If degree does not give high salary, there is no reason to invest into university education!

Nobody wants to stay poor, just to support American universities!

American education makes a sense for professions with certification like medical doctor, otherwise it is just a scam!
