But if you are a geek all you will ever be is a highly paid servant. You will be Spock to someone else's Kirk because you don't have the social skills to enlist the aid of others and don't have the temperament to handle risk taking and uncertainty.
Those were the skills the football jocks learned.

What, you mean pumping gas for a living, going back home to the trailer, and reminiscing about the glory days when his life peaked at 17?
No, thanks!

You've obviously never tried setting up a mixed routable and non-routable protocol network, or tried solving a Microsoft "blue screen" problem!

Those were the skills the football jocks learned. I have football, soccer and baseball jocks that work FOR me. The only "skills" they got were how to cowtow to the Coach (now I am a substitute for that) and how to play sports.
I love having them "run laps" (do crap work).
Revenge is sweet.
