Option 3: I work in IT. I see on a daily basis people with bachelor's and PHDs doing some of the stupidest shit. I assume no one knows fuck all.

Them: "My camera for teams isn't working please help!"

Me: Flicks open the webcam cover and smiles trying not to make them feel too bad😅

The older I get the more I kick myself for "knowing" I'm too stupid for a PhD or master's in anything.

I've always had an interest in science, I love watching something like PBS spacetime or fermilab videos (because I'm obviously a layman and won't understand anything actually detailed), but I've always held this belief that I'm "wayyyy too stupid to actually do the work." and then I hear story after story of "very smart people" simply not understanding the simplest of concepts.

Oh well lol

Yet more evidence that intelligence and wisdom are separate things.

Not really. Technical knowledge is still a form of knowledge not wisdom.
