Hello,

i was wondering, if you can pick just ONE option. which one woudl you chose and WHY! you have to explain it, and NO you can't pick BOTH or NONE lol it has to be one or the other.

would you rather be street smart? or book smart? and WHY?

Book smart. Because book smart comes with good jobs and money, and money is everything. There's no need for street smart if you have money.

Besides, street smart is just a term stupid people came up to make themselves feel better. Smart = book smart.

Im not good with books unless i really have the interest in the topic. So street smart is what defines me. Though i always use books/media as sources of information. I never rely much on them. I'd rather do my own thing and see for myself. Yeah, it's all about experience for me. Well, in a point I agree to dagger906 for saying that street smart is a term for stupid people to make themselves feel better...but that's for stupid people who doesnt have any exp in their stuff. Though sometimes, "Stupid" people are the smart ones. Like they are just lazy to be smart.

I want to put in more of my input but i dont want to go far as it'll start a flame war for sure. So just need to keep it nice and simple. peace. vincent out.

Book smart. I am one who believes in the saying: "Knowledge is power." So, if I have a chance to learn something new I take it, even if I never have to apply that knowledge. Sadly, it has lead me to becoming more of a Jack of All Trades instead of "Specialist."

Street smarts any day. While having book smarts may make me more money and from that I could buy things to attract women (cars and boats and such); having street smarts saves me the time of actually working and allows me to hangout in Starbucks all day getting phone numbers of super model level women. Lets have an example: the Fonz. He may not be as smart as Richy, but his street smarts and tought guy charm (which comes with street smarts) lets him get women left and right, I rest my case.

Book smart for me

You can learn about being street smart from a book, and then flash the cash when you get an excellent job and a fast car.

Street smarts for me. Though I love knowledge, most people I tend to hang out don't give two damns what you kno, it's about your wits. Plus it's Houston for the love of god, who the hell uses book smarts in this dangerous *** city. Book smarts don't prevent a fight from happening.

I'm both and loving it.

I would probably pick street smarts. I've only ever learnt book smarts, and that is mostly easy and boring to learn, atleast that is why I dorpped out of high school for a while. Thinking of finishing it up and then go to university, but not sure if I have a clear enough goal to make it worth it. :/

Book smart because:

1. All I need is some books
2. It involves much less interaction with gangs
