And John, a college education in engineering is open to everyone. So are
jobs in engineering. Or at least, those things are open to everyone with
enough intelligence. I assume you chose not to pursue those things, just
as I chose not to pursue formal shooting competitions.

 Ah Frankie, back to your old tricks again. You tell a lie, i.e. an
untruth,  and  you are corrected. You then change the subject... just
as Tom does. Although Tom does seems to be doing it less frequently
recently.
 Exhibit #1... "a college education in engineering is open to
everyone."?
Really? Just walk into the collage  and tell them I want an
engineering educations and Bingo! You become  a collage student?

If you qualify with sufficient evidence of intelligence, yes. Schools generally don't want to waste resources on the uneducable.
But you may first have to know how to spell "college."   ;-)
It's not that different from competitive shooting, John. You wouldn't welcome a person with uncontrollable tremors onto your target shooting team, so it's not really "open to anyone." We wouldn't welcome a person who couldn't learn algebra into our engineering school, but it's open to anyone who's qualified.
