Is a person with 2 Masters' degrees smarter than a person who decides against getting into over a third of a million dollars worth of debt?

I don't think so. Intelligence isn't increased by learning at all. A dumb person doesn't get smarter with a degree.

But... but what about all those smart ladies lecturing us with their postdoctoral Gender Studies degrees???
