Just in case...

When I was a kid, my parents used to tell me that if I never achieved in school, that I could look forward to a life on the streets. I'm not sure the evidence has held up their opinions. I never really did "well" at school, and so far I have not gone wanting; but then again I do now have an advanced degree in the physical sciences, and well, life is not THAT great for me. So this story from the usually wealth-friendly telegraph just serves to make the point that one can be both wealthy beyond need and stupid beyond feasability.
