Maybe it happens. We can not find out if someone purposely gamed their IQ test to get a specific goal.

But I believe your main point is realistic. There is little incentive for high IQ people to put up with boredom AND physical risk, as opposed to just boredom, such as in software development (at least in my experience).

As for salaries, I don't have data.
