Or that they limit what you can use in your passwords (no accents for example).
And also there is a large number of immigrants who prefers to return to their home countries after their first gig or when they get unemployed. Almost 37% of the population have no Swiss background. In 6 years in Switzerland(yeah personal anecdote), I have yet seen someone being actually fired. They rather let them go, and then these people don't find another job and go back to their home countries. It takes about 6month~to get a new jobs, even when your skills are supposedly in demand. My point, the low % of unemployment is thanks to migrants, not because the job market is "great".

Gifted means generally high IQ. While one can trained and raise its IQ, from my understanding, it can help just for a few points.

I can relate to the IQ wall in communication, I can relate to fail education, I can relate to stupid people with great education, I am lucky to have a good paying job considering my lack of formal education.

If not properly handled, above than average IQ is actually more a problem than a great asset in western system (I won't talk about Asian countries, as I don't have first hand experience but the competition mindset should help)
