My academic and extra curricular assets post high school were good enough to get me into multiple Ivy League universities, but was not up to the task of getting me into Berkeley;
While in university, my engineering and math were good enough to beat out a whole lot of folks without exertion, even when skipping entire classes and instead revel in the gorge and sun, but was not up to the task of overpowering a bunch of #$%@4563%(;
... and, let them invest in QCOM and such nerdy common enterprises, while concentrating on oddities such as gold, platinum, oil, uranium, coal, and ... oh, shorting their housing and subprime lenders :0)
So, as far as I am concerned, leave the science and engineering to folks who are intensely interested in it, exploit them for all they are worth via financial machinations and option convolutions, and enjoy life and the big picture.
Competing is too hard, mostly not necessary, ultimately a losing game, at the very end.
