Across 142 effect sizes from 42 data sets involving over 600,000 participants, we found consistent evidence for beneficial effects of education on cognitive abilities of approximately 1 to 5 IQ points for an additional year of education.

It's a chicken and egg scenario.

People born with high IQs have the attention span or desire to stay in school longer.

Whereas genetically low IQ people are going to end up failing more classes and likely dropping out before High School.

This correlates directly with race. America is probably the country that spends the most money per student head, yet Blacks still don't give a damn about school and they would rather be rappers or basketball players.

It's only Whites & Asians who are more serious and see being a Doctor or CEO as a better life goal.

Edit: We also have other studies that compare races who achieved their highest academic level, and yet IQ levels still differ. The average Black who completes university might have an IQ of 105 but the average White or Asian would be 130 points or higher.

I have the attention span of a goldfish, but I am also one of those people who doesn't need to study much, even at the collegiate level, to perform well.
