Can you ever have a high income with a low I.Q? I've made about 400k USD from crypto which is a lot for my age. I know crypto won't last forever, it could either completely crash one day, or in my opinion stabilize and we won't see huge 5x+ gains every year, probably not even 2x. Unless I get in the 900k-1million range after tax I know I'll need to have a job. I might not have to long and I definitely could retire quickly. My only concern is I don't think I could get a job above minimum wage since my I.Q and soical skills are very low. It seems like you have to be a mega genius and/or have many connections to make above 100k after tax. Could a person even make 50k with a poor I.Q? Can anyone recommend some low I.Q jobs above minimum wage? None with tons of social interaction or physical labor.

Pretty common in CA. There are alot of people in California who's only job is to try to blackmail tech companies because they don't have enough qualified black employees (which is 99.99% of all companies).

In HR, we call them "Race Extortionists."

Jesse Jackson is a great example:
1) JJ informs tech company they don't have enough blacks
2) JJ threatens to sue said company and drag the company through a public media shitstorm, created by JJ
3) JJ offers to "mitigate" the situation if said company hires Jessie Jacksons "HR consulting" company for a ridiculous fee
4) Said company has no choice but to "hire" JJ and pay his exhorbant fees or else be slandered

This is really not a joke. It's gotten pretty common here to the point where companies are now pro-actively defending themselves.

High IQ anon reporting in. Over 160. Doesn't mean anything re: how successful you will be. In fact being super high IQ is more of a handicap. Everyone hates you in school. Because you always know better. Without even studying. In jobs it's the same. Impossible to get ahead in any large organisation. Because people still hate/envy your intelligence. So that just leaves self employment. Hence I've been self employed for most of my working life. And that's a boom bust kind of existence. Been millionaire, been homeless. Then millionaire again. And lost it all again. Rollercoaster. Actually enjoyed being homeless the most. That's intelligence for you. Be happy with your 110 anon. Life is much easier there. The summit is harsh place.

My suggestion would be to buy a franchise that you can be an absent owner of with your crypto earnings, hire a manager to run the place and take your profits from doing very little other than providing the financial commitment.
Alternatively be a salesman, I know some really awkward and really dense motherfuckers that make bank off of sales jobs.
Last good option would be to get into a trade if you're okay with working with your hands, some trades pay quite well for not too much intelligence, and if it's one where you're mostly alone your social skills won't mean shit.

"Common knowledge is knowledge that is known by everyone or nearly everyone, usually with reference to the community in which the term is used. Common knowledge need not concern one specific subject, e.g., science or history. It was common knowledge that the Earth was plain 800 years ago, so scientific, right?

Go to literally any trade school, or go to school for computer science.

Trade school can be completed quickly and you'll make a good living and have great union benefits, and you can be a total fucking dummy and do alright.

Computer Science you'll never get a top paying job but you'll make 60-80k easy right out of school and maybe if you actually enjoy it you'll get good enough at it over time to get a senior position and make 120-150k+. You don't have to be smart in compsci unless you are a lead dev making high profile logic decisions for how to steer product. Outside of that you're basically a code monkey. They tell you code something, you do it. Same as being a plumber, or an electrician, or any other shit. You learn the trade, you do the job.

Go into IT OP. I don't mean programming because it will be painful if you're a brainlet but basic bitch Windows server system administrator kind of stuff. I'm a leader developer for a web agency and I have to work with these people all the time. I think most of them are probably <100 IQ but are making a solid income. They just learn the right buttons to click and don't actually do much critical thinking but it's enough to do well financially with, especially if you get all of the meme certifications.

IQ doesn't mean shit. Most CS majors do not have a 130 IQ. All my brainlet friends took CS in college and uni because it was much more easier than the other STEM programs that forced you to go into non-general chemistry, advanced theoretical physics and biology. CS programs had much less science courses than other science programs.

OP, forget IQ. Unless you're doing theoretical physics in university or some STEM doctorate program, IQ will change little to nothing. The most important thing is perseverance. Only worthless subhuman lazy neets on 4chan that have done nothing with their lives boast their "IQ" online because it's literally the only positive thing they can attribute to their pathetic existence. And if anything, it seems like EQ nowadays is much more important than IQ.

All you really need is that, perseverance, and as you've said, connections. If someone like me with no hereditary advantage in terms of intelligence made it this far, you should be able to get much further.

Guys don't even worry about it. Get medication for it. I was in a huge funk when I didn't realize I had ADD. Gained weight, no motivation, depressed. Started taking Concerta 18mg through my doctor, started getting into Chad mode, lost some weight got fit, started a Masters degree and killing it (90% average first course and 100% so far on another) etc.

Take your drugs man. Not all of them are the same but see a doctor.

OP listen to me. I attend university in IT Management. And i can tell you i have 0 actual skills. Pick something you like and get really good at it. If it's crypto then find out everything about the technology. Try to find out everything about blockchain, AI, cloud computing, whatever is interesting for you. Then you go to the dev teams at conventions or mail them that you are enthusiastic about their project, and convince them that you know lots of stuff about the market and the technology. You'll find some company that will hire you. That's exactly what my plan is. The team will grow larger and larger and there will be or there already is a high demand for geeks like you and me. If you get into this branch you will have a huge advantage in the market because only few people actually understand the tech behind all this stuff. You know it may be hyped right now but this hype is all about prices and how to get money, not about the actual tech behind it.

Nope, it's just an indicator of how high you can score on a IQ test. There is not a single shread of evidence out there that IQ can 1. Be accurately and consistenly be measured in a controlled environment 2. Be an indicator of how successful you will be in life.

honestly
are you black? Only shitskins take issue with the importance of IQ because theyre the only ones left in the dust

IQ is incredibly consistently measured. In fact it has an error rate of like 5% for the same subject:

"The validity of IQ as a predictor of job performance is above zero for all work studied to date, but varies with the type of job and across different studies, ranging from 0.2 to 0.6.[106] The correlations were higher when the unreliability of measurement methods was controlled for.[9] While IQ is more strongly correlated with reasoning and less so with motor function,[107] IQ-test scores predict performance ratings in all occupations.[105]"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_quotient#Social_correlations

You are an utter fucking brainlet if you think IQ doesnt matter at all
thats not to say there arent things you can do to get ahead and make up for this, but you have to be a fucking science denier to say it isnt extremely important.
>Only Asspie faggot rejects on an malaysian basketweaving forum thinks it means anything because that's all they have to show for thier miserable failed lives.

Why do you assume you have low IQ because your dad is a farmer? You clearly state the reason yourself: he never had a proper education during youth.
If he had he probably would have got to the same or higher level as you.

147 reporting in. This is true. Most average IQ people can't really discern a difference between someone 125 and above anyways. Everyone above that is just "smart". The IQ communication gap blinds them.
