What if you're dumb?

There is all this talk about smart, gifted, and talented individuals and what kind of potential they have. It’s fairly common for these students to be encouraged to succeed in higher education, higher job positions, and internships/research.

What about those students that are just plain stupid? What kind of prospective do they have in life? Jobs that require responsibility also require intelligence so it’s very doubtful that one of low intelligence will succeed in that position.

I’m not smart and I know that I’d never succeed in college (already failed once). I’ve never had meaningful employment. What are the options dumb people can achieve?
