I'm not arguing that they aren't higher than the average person.

The point was that to get on that career track with higher earnings, there's certainly no requirement to be in the top 2% of I.Q. distribution; but you need to get on the right track to collect your cash prizes.

I used google to find that info. There's some chart with all the professions floating around out there, where M.D.'s are the highest I.Q. of all the professions.
