In reality, America will need to produce people who are both "Jocks" and "Nerds".
I'm a nerd playing catchup to what the Jocks learned by 17.
> 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!

Nerd skills haven't got one damn thing to do with
1. Bouncing back from adversity
2. Finishing what you start
3. Teamwork
4. Negotiating skills
5. Making sound character judgements
6. Being lucky in love
These are the social skills that the frat boys and football jocks are more likely to acquire.
