There exists something i like to call the “grad school flunkie”.   let me give you an example.  lets say there is an individual who possessed such powers of intellect that they could basically do any job on earth.   now lets say this individual  has  achieved  academic accolades and attained the highest rankings of any student at his or her school.  now lets say that this person decides to finish going to regular college, but has done so well that he says to himself  “it would be a waste of a brain not to continue going to school for an advanced degree, in 1, 2, or 3 subjects.”  so voila, he ends up in grad school, with so many options before him, he just randomly picks one lets say — biomedical research, and he ends up working in a lab.  this is where the grad school flunkie lives and breeds.   grad school flunkies are the smartest of the smart, the nerdiest of the nerds.  Once they end up in grad school, they lose their steam, they start hanging out at the lab, working and working, and also never leaving, this lasts years even decades.  imagine decades of living on 20k or less!  that’s when the rest of society realizes that they’re basically high school drop outs with a high IQ.  but to quote the simpsons, “don’t hate grad students, its not their fault they made a bad life decision.”
