Search Results: how do you know its real

If you had to choose just one to be which would you choose?

I think I would choose being street smart. I am book smart but I hate it because it doesn't allow me to be as successful as I could be with being street smart. I've only been able to get so far with an education but if I tapped more into my street smarts at a young age, I would probably be more further in life.

One thing I can say is that I've learned a lot more in these past 11 years after college than I did the 4 years I was in college. Being in the real world has taught me that being street smart is far more important in the long run than an educational background. The only thing education gets you is maybe your foot in the door with certain jobs but with most you still have to ace the interview and a lot of times know the right people to get in all the way.
