What's the difference between a genius and an avg person?

 "An average person learns, a Genius thinks."


That's one of my major concerns about IT jobs. There is a lot to learn, but as for thinking... if you have to think, you're not very effective at your job. 

If you can follow algorithms well and have excellent short/mid-term memory (technical details requiring memorisation are rarely useful in the long run), you can make a decent career in IT.

As much as the image of IT seems to include bright minds and smart people, not that much room for geniuses.
