As I remember it, I don’t think the study looked at grades either, just study time, which does not necessarily corrolate with grades either. I would think that study time corrolates most closely to “dedication to the task” or perhaps motivation. Anyone possessing either of these two qualities, if carried through to income producing endeavors would, it could be argued, realize a higher income, regardless of intellegence, grades in school, or other qualities that could be considered.
I can believe that the A and B students are likely to end up working for the C students, I think I’ve seen that before somewhere. The As and Bs are the doctors and lawyers working for the C students, who, having little to lose, are the risk takers, the Bill Gates if you will.
IQ doesn’t assure wealth anymore than winning the lottery assures a financially secure future. It’s just another resource that can be used wisely or foolishly.
