What are some good careers for midwits? I'm not smart enough to do anything in STEM or finance, but I'm too smart to work in retail or food service, and I especially don't like interacting with minorities. My IQ is somewhere between 115 and 125. What kind of jobs should I be looking for?

Computer janny for a company or school district assuming you can pass the requisite background checks necessary.

project management of some kind, most likely software. I'm labeled as "gifted" in the 120-130's but the effort to return ratio is sweet at mid level management. All the engineers 140-160 IQ have no patience for retarded customers.

I love that iq testing, a tool designed to define mental retardation that's uniquely useless for segmenting and categorizing intellectually gifted people, has become the yard stick used by my fellow mediocre people to waft their farts into their own nostrils.

When I was a kid all my teachers said I was gifted but I ended up in worse shape than even most of the retards I went to school with.

Stem is for midwits
Research - > trim data to whatever the founder wants to hear. Write publications about climate change
Clinical - > push whatever kikery is hot at the moment, or just don't treat at all to please the insurance company
I actually went in it to help people and science n sheit, hate stem so damn much

yea same, I dropped out of high school once and college twice. Still no degree but I make enough money without it (for now).

This is true, but nevertheless, the midwit effect is real and palpable. If there were a better proxy for things like
>tendency to make appeals to authority and other logical fallacies
>tendency to succumb to groupthink
>ability of follow complex routines but not to devise the routines themselves
then that would more directly measure what we tend to conceive as being "midwit". Ultimately I think IQ is necessary but not sufficient to describe midwits, because I know some "smart" people who can calculate fast but are simultaneously useless followers.

That's perfect for retail.

I don't do either of the first two things. The third one is borderline for me. Nonetheless I know I'm too much of a retard to do any kind of high paying specialized work.

If you're smart enough to not make logical fallacies and think independently, then you're smart enough to solve complex problems. I think you're selling yourself to short. Or you do make logical fallacies and you don't realize it because you're a midwit, kek. If you don't want to go into a white-collar profession because you think you're too dumb, then try to get into business/management or do a trade and work towards starting a business.
