Tall people are more educated, short people are unhealthy - bjcheung77 - 04-23-2022
So, how tall are you? My wife and I are not tall, we're not really short either, I would say "average height"... I was just reading about height and if it has any correlation to education, success, etc. From reading these few articles, it seems they may be correlated. The taller the person, the better they get with determining outcomes to education, jobs, health, etc.

I'm under 5 feet tall. Female. Have 2 associate degrees and 2 bachelor's degrees. Currently working on my first master's with plans for a second one next year and doctorate in a couple years. I've not had a problem landing a job thus far. So I can't say I agree with any of this.

Regarding jobs here prefering tall people:
Maybe it´s true, since I was never able to get a job as a bank teller.
However, that could have been better, since I followed an assistant -> analyst route instead, plus teaching.
