I'd also note that Einstein was a patent clerk when he was coming up with some of his most significant theories/ideas.

Being a clerk isn't a mark on Einsteins intelligence. The way I read it he went into work in the morning there were 2 or 3 patent requests he dealt with and he had nothing to do the rest of the day except work on his ideas.
