You're not proving cause and effect here. IQ and earning power are correlated but the relation has been proven to run both ways. Low IQ may or may not lead to low income but low income has been shown to lead to low IQ scoring.



Only a massive study would show cause and effect.

Barring occupations like professional sports, though, common sense would tend to suggest that that a higher IQ would tend to lead to a higher salary in the majority of cases.
