Are college students....

Supposed to be innovative thinkers? Are we supposed to be the smartest people of our age group around? I have no idea..... I always thought college students were sooo smart but I'm sitting here, as a college student, feeling like the dumbest person ever. I'm not working on some project that's making me feel like an innovator. I'm struggling with my statics homework and wondering how I'm supposed to be an engineer that wants to work on the cutting edge. Maybe I'm not cut out for being a researcher but being some lame office worker who happens to have a useless Bachelors Degree in Engineering. Is there a certain point where I'm going to feel like I know enough to be a professional Engineer? I realize I am going to have to get my Masters to really become anything in the engineering field but really, when am I gonna make a difference in the world. Students at MIT are already smarter than I'm ever going to be so what's the point of trying to surpass them? Most of us students are never going to amount to anything like a Bill Gates or a Mark Zuckerberg yet we try anyway...in vain it seems like. I don't know, maybe I am supposed to just be motivated by this fact and try even harder but its having the opposite effect so far.
