Default The IQ Effect?

Here's the theory behind number 7's answerFrom the thread "You have no life")

I feel that sometimes i'm not trying in life because i know where it will get me. I COULD be doing lots of things right now, but once again, it comes down to what i value in life. These things i could be doing (Electronics, Computer Programming) Could get me a decent job, and some good money, but I wouldn't be happy doing them. Plus, i feel like i'm better than that.

Believe it or not, my IQ is 141. I feel like i should be doing something that shows how high my IQ is, but i think people who have higher IQ's tend to go through more indecision in their lives, this is only my opinion mind you, but anyways, yeah, they like to think that they are above the path of "settling for what life gives them." They end up marrying later, and doing a lot of things later in life, simply because they think that because everyone else is getting something out of life, that maybe they'll get something too.

This may seem like it makes no sense, and that's prolly because it kinda doesn't. Basically what goes through my head sometimes is: (may be offending to some people :\ )

I deserve something that makes me happy.
I deserve to have a better job than some idiot who gets all his shit handed to him.
I deserve a better economical standing than some tool pushing a button in a factory, with an IQ<60.
I deserve to be picked for jobs requiring skill and intellect over someone's "relative" who's IQ is in the single digits.
I deserve more than a lot of people who have a lot more than me.

Okay, that sounds REALLY arrogant, but still, its how i feel sometimes, and i can't help it.

What do you guys think? I know this is kind of insulting to some people, but it's only one person's opinion. What i'm asking you guys is: Do you think that today's workforce is REALLY focused on who's qualified for the job? or are the jobs going to people who are merely capable of doing them?
