So, it's impossible to be intellectual and have common sense and it's a bad thing that universites employ smart people? Rightio then.Let us not forget that academic and intellectual intelligences do not always equate to "common sense" intelligences. In fact, it is quite often that never the two shall meet. Unfortunately universities are stellar examples of this and they in turn are the machinery that perpetuate this very system. Oh the conundrum....
The fact you just suggested forming a relationship with someone for a few years purely to exploit them financially pretty much puts everything you're ever said on this site into perspective.put up with it for a few years to finish uni (hell, move in with her) and then drop her like yesterdays garbage.
You also have an incredibly interesting view of tertiary education for someone who is considering postgraduate study. Sounds more like sour grapes towards people who academically outperform you.
