What are the advantages of book smarts vs street smarts?

In: Learning Tips [Edit categories]

Answer:

"Book smarts" are the facts and data you get by studying books and going to school. "Street smarts" are the skills you learn by working and socializing "in the real world." Both are valuable. If you have a lot of education, but don't know how to communicate well, you won't be as successful when you get a job and live on your own. If you are very "savvy" about life, but have not gotten an education, you will also not be as successful as you could have been. People can do quite well using either type of "smart," but the best results come from using both!
