I think really smart people sometimes are burdened with so much astute information about the world and are not as comfortable and happy as dumb people like me.


And that could be sour grapes.
I knew a lot of people in law school who did para-legal work of some kind before attending the University of Minnesota Law School. There were taking a break before the hard task of that First Year of Law School where you are not allowed to work. At least, that was the rule when I was at the University of Minnesota in 1986-1989.

Matt Jackson now could skip law school with all the opportunities that his wins on Jeopardy will give him.
