>> True education should help you to be so intelligent that with that intelligence you can choose a job which you love, or starve, but not do something stupid which would make you miserable for the rest of your life.>>

What is the general meaning of "starve" here?

Here starve means that you feel a great need or desire for something (for job in your case).

I think it means just that - you find something to do which you love, or you starve because you cannot find a suitable job so are not paid enough. It's not a particularly well expressed sentence.
