Which smarty type of these do you find better?

Academically smart

Street smart

[AlexanderAnttila]

I'm academically smart, but depending on how you define street smarts I do not dismiss it. A lot of academics are helplessly clueless in the real world when application is practical and not theoretical anymore. I never wanted to be one of those arrogant so called professors in their ivory towers who look down on the common man and believes they can tell everyone how to live and not, what is right and wrong. Which is sadly what the institution of learning has developed into these days. A political tool for leftist agendas.

I agree completely.

I do the academics so that my wife doesn't have to. She only needs the street smarts. Working-class girls are da bomb.

Street smart gets you better things than academic smarts.

There is a myth that high IQ people can't have common sense or street smarts. Not true!

Street smart for sure.
I used to work for a school division and those teachers are completely brainwashed by the system and have very little actual life experience or common sense.

That's funny. Men and women are polar opposites here.

Street smart, academically smart means nothing unless you're academically smart in a good paying area

A balance of both should be imperative.
