University's basically an institution to get specialized training for stuff, yeah, and being smart definitely helps. There's a baseline of self responsibility and comprehension and problem-solving skills that you need. But besides that, if you know how to game the academic system, it's going to reward that.
Besides, how "smart" someone is depends on what you're talking about. I know some folks who couldn't cut it in university, but you wouldn't be able to find a better engineer or welder or something in the next five states, running their shops all by themselves.
