The 10 Dumbest States in America

[mota bhai 2,675]

Which are? Please post your stats and where they came from.

I already did. They're from the Census.

The people in these states who do really well don't move anywhere.

It's people like me, who are nearing 40 but have been treading a career plateau for years who want out.

Because even in the smart states, there are average to below-average folk like me.

Yeah, here, I'm considered really smart. Ohhhh, how little they know.

IT guys at the top of the totem pole in the Manhattan financial sector or Silicon Valley get a lot of respect frome me! I just hope none of them ever try to work where I am or I'll be out of a job :/

I see what you did. You didn't necessarily post the whole chart. I wish I could.

For Asians, Indians, Chinese, Pakistani, and Korean are the top.

I find even more interesting the two or more races category. How did they determine who is white: black, African and black; native American, Indian. Did they do DNA test and decide by the percentage of blood in the people?

They ask. Race, in the census, is a matter of self identification.

Advanced grammar? hmmmmm I will give you this one since you pointed out the obvious mistake they made.

I never display my true grammatical genuis for fear of intimidating other posters

It is on the honor system. They also have an 'other' category.

Asians and Indians that will do my job for a dollar scare me.

Oh we all knew KY would be in there. Interesting note, the "Gatton Academy" is located here in Bowling Green and is one of the highest if not the highest ranked high schools in the US.

accidents happen, don't they?

If your job can be done by some Indian yahoo with 6 months of training in a tech institute, you should be scared.

Its not whether they can, its whether someone else thinks they can.

And you wonder why some people don't like your attitude.

[mota bhai 2,675]

Let me put it to you this way. If they can do your job after about 12 months of stumbling around in what used to be your cube and your chair, then you oughta be scared.

What attitude? I mean, we're talking about Kentucky here, no?

All in good fun, okay?

On a more serious note, I actually wondered why FL didn't make the bottom 10 list. That seriously surprised me.

Who knows man. I've been here for 10 years almost and I started as a co-op. Initially my job was very simple, then more responsibility/pay on and on and on and now I'm responsible for a lot of #######. At this job, they couldn't beat me for sure, at least not until I give up. Here I'm kinda of a jack of all trades and on the open market its hard to compete against the specialists. I have lots of active directory/security ####### experience but can I beat out someone that only works with that stuff? Prob not.
