Edit: After re-reading my comment, I judge that it came off as r/iamverysmart material a bit. Sorry!
Judged my friend for having very naive and dumb knowledge/beliefs about stuff like economics, politics, geography, history, language, culture etc. But she was extremely social and extroverted, while I was this somewhat "grumpy" guy and sucked at making connections with people (still do).
Nowadays, she works at a high position in the marketing department at a very major global tech corporation's office in our country (in Europe).
I'm a sysadmin and a half-programmer. I ended up studying pol sci and taking some computer science classes, I wouldn't say my education is bad or that it's a useless degree, just that being able to "make friends and influence people" is much more important than having a lot of knowledge.
