How do you qualify someone to not being smart enough to do a certain task? Let's say for example getting a degree in X.
My girlfriend is starting University next year and she has had a lot of trouble finding what she wants to get into. Everything she finds something she says something along the lines of: "But it doesn't matter if I like it, I won't ever make it" or "I love this but I am not smart enough to do it". (We are talking about STEM degrees).
Personally I believe anyone can be "smart" enough to do any degree as long as they put in the effort.

Does anyone else share the same opinion? Or do you think some people are really just not smart enough to do something? Share your beliefs with us.

There are many things which most people are not smart enough to do. Getting a university degree is not one of them.
If you are willing to try you need to be a complete chimp to be unable to get a degree.

And the work that comes after a degree? Is that something anyone is smart enough to do?

What do you count as stuff not everyone is smart enough to do? Give a few examples

The hard part of a job is that more in terms of quantity is expected of you than at university. Intellectually your job will probably be braindead compared to the degree you needed to get it, at least in my first and second-hand experience.

Not everybody is smart enough to do research in an abstract field of study, or pass math 55, or write a (good) book, or win the IMO, or many other things.
You can tell immediately by looking at something that it requires an exceptional input person.

Nope faggot, your girlfriend is a tard.

>tfw study every single day and still on the edge of failing most of my classes

Yes op. Some people just shouldn't try. Me included.

If you're not actually disabled you're smart enough to do any of those things, it's just a matter of how long it's going to take you. And really smartness is just one factor of many. I would say I'm smart enough to do STEM no problem, but I really struggle mainly because of my bad attitude and my bad habits.

You know what, I might just be in denial

you're in denial.

hardwork will win out at uni, university is fair.

>hardwork will win out at uni,

yeah, but only if you have the brain structure to retain the information you study
