Define intelligence? High IQ? Street smarts? For this question, I would define intelligence as "intelligence at making money."

My guess is you think you're smart but can't get a hot girl and want sympathy?

The first one is basically a fact - college grads make much more money than non-college grads.

I have no doubt there's a positive correlation for both of those. There's also a positive correlation between the volume of ice cream sales and urban riots.

We all realize that it's important to know how strong the correlation is, how much of the variance it explains, and whether other factors could be at work. You also have to remember that a positive correlation is merely that. It does not necessarily imply cause-and-effect.

Yes to both, and neither is close.
