a company wont hire you if your not educated?

Oh but I think it does: I worked for a few years in a remote Aboriginal community and there were very many people there who couldn't read or write but could speak four languages, predict weather, find food and water in what appeared to be a barren landscape and pass down complicated oral history and spirituality. They were also pretty good at healing pre-invasion illnesses and had devised a very complicated kinship system which prevented incest in small nomadic groups in the past and still continues to a great extent. Their social organisation is based on each person having obligations to care for and give to other specific individuals. It worked very well for 40,000 years before invasion and also cared for the environment.

Now that's what I call REAL intelligence!
