Amber 70 Report post Posted October 29, 2010 I am a college professor and I voted street smart. I know several educated idiots. They have a very difficult life. I would rather be able to figure out people and situations than recite Dickens. I have been blessed to have both. ^^And yes sugar, book smart can get you the job, but without common sense you just iritate the people you have to work with.

surfnburn 5 Report post Posted October 29, 2010 lol Emmie. I just avoided a huge traffic jam on highway 880 by taking a backroad, so I'm feeling pretty street smart...lol I think it's important to have a balance of both. I'd like to be relationship smart, which usually requires a little bit of both and life experience. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beamish 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2010 Street smarts get my respect, because street-smart people often have a closer relationship with reality than people who get lofty ideals from books but don't know how to apply anything to life. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
