A few years ago I was in an interview. A girl came to us immediately after the institute to the post of secretary. Our staff started collecting her papers.

You have a higher economic education. In our company there is a job close to your specialty. Maybe you want to try yourself in this position.

and no. thank you. I want to be a secretary.

But why? Your salary is 30% higher and you will be able to grow. Still, a secretary is a position that does not imply career and professional growth.

The girl turned red and whispered with a quiet voice.

You know, I am not very smart. I was very difficult to study at the institute and I am afraid that I will simply not be able to fulfill the responsibilities related to the education received.

I don’t know how this girl looked at the staff and management. As a result, she was taken to the post of secretary and began to slowly load her duties on specialty. A couple of years later, when she learned a little, she was transferred to one of the departments where she worked for many years in a regular position.

And yes, she did not deceive and very objectively assessed her level of intellectual abilities. Although they were enough to perform the standard cyclical duties at the ordinary post, sometimes it burned out so that I just couldn’t believe the person wasn’t joking.
