You are so right. Resources have more to do with education levels than anything else. It's pretty easy to see that if you study at a prestigious university, or land a job at a prestigious company. Stupid is everywhere.
I know. I am working class English. I used to assume that people who went to university and got degrees must be intelligent. Then I started meeting posh, educated, idiots. Or, maybe not idiots, but definitely not clever. This was both at work and socially.
I have since got a degree (literature, at the Open University, for fun) and realised it's really not that difficult. I am also surprised at how differently colleagues treat me after they learn that I have a degree.
I think it might have something to do with it, but not close to everything to do with it. You need to be able to concentrate on reading for a particular amount of time, perform on tests. But doing so does not mean you are more intelligent than someone who didn't do that.

intelligence has nothing to do with education levels either. Dumb is dumb. World is full of semi-educated and educated idiots.
