No. IQ is only one measure of intelligence. Sometimes people become laborers because they just didn't have the right opportunities. Opportunity is not a measured in the IQ.

IQ doesn't mean near as much as a person's desire to succeed. I know a guy who tests at genius level, yet he works in a movie theater as a ticket taker.

not necessarily. I've read that some top-notch professional chess players have IQ's in the low 90's.

not really, a hardworking person with IQ of 90 may be more productive than the 'cleverer' person who's also a slacker.
