I've seen too many people who were dumb as a post get the good jobs, the attractive SO, and lots of respect simply because they were hyper-charismatic. Intelligence is good, but you have to have a few things in order to make it work for you. The first thing is a good education. That means putting yourself in a great deal of debt to get it. Without an education, your intelligence is wasted.  Then, once you have an education, then you need to get a job. They may check your work history and whether or not you have a degree, but other than checking your GPA, there is really no way for them to see that you are any smarter than the other applicant... and if he was all smiles and they felt comfortable around him, then you know who will be getting the job. OK, so you got a job. It wasn't the one you wanted, because that guy with all his hair, the perfect teeth, and the natural tan got the one you really wanted, but at least you aren't getting paid to follow horses around all day with a broom. Now you have to be a part of whatever team you were hired onto. That means interracting with people in a positive and productive way. Again, a high charisma helps more than intelligence does. So you take an 18 in Charisma, sure, you probably won't be winning the Nobel peace prize any day soon, but at least you will be well liked and fairly successful.</blockquote>
