Perfect test scores yet bad homework scores

Why can’t a genius own a car customization company? Why does a genius have to go to college?

My next door neighbor (passed away a couple of years ago at the age of 94) was clearly incredibly intelligent and I doubt he graduated high school. He trapped muskrats and sold the pelts to earn money during the Depression. He was an amazing plumber, electrician, and organic gardener. He was a vegetarian decades before it was fashionable. He served during WW2, built his own home, made his own whole house generator, and built incredible wood furniture from scratch. There is no way he wasn’t a genius.

He was out there mowing his own lawn on his homemade ride-on mower when he was 93 years old. I doubt his life would have been much better if he had gone to college.
