Be nice to the nerds. Chances are, one day you will work for one.
The star football player and most popular boy at our school did end up working for one of the biggest nerds in school. I have noticed those at the so-called A table at my high school almost to a man/woman have ended up losers in life. I think a lot of it has to do with everyone in their life giving them the star treatment and then they can’t handle the real world where they are a little fish in a big pond after high school.
I tried to tell this to my daughters when they were in high school, and feeling resentful- they did not believe me but are now old enough that it is starting to prove true. Some of the A bunch have parents with a business or real money so it takes longer to see their issues, but they do show up sooner or later in most cases.
