I know that this sounds like an odd question, but I have really wondered about it due to my recent experiences. I have been around other intelligent people throughout much of my life, be it in grade school, college, and beyond.
Recently, I have started a career change and am temping while exploring my options. The people I work with at my temp job aren't complete idiots but at the same time they aren't the brightest people in the world.
For the first time in my life, its not automatically understood that I am smart. On one hand, I shouldn't really care, but it still bothers me. There is a certain amount of training involved for the job which I find ridiculously easy, but the supervisor still is always double checking my work and overexplaining things. I need a job while I apply to grad school, but this is driving me crazy.
So, does one need to be smart to understand "their own kind". Any advice on how to handle this situation would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
