As for my situation, I was relatively popular in high school but went to a school that valued both intelligence and athleticism.  I got good grades, was varsity in 3 sports, and had a ton of friends, both in and out of school because I was also heavily involved in outside activities.  Now I'm a typical DC lawyer with a great DH (also a lawyer) and beautiful DD.  I think my DH was slightly nerdy in high school but also went to an academically challenging high school that valued the nerd in him.  He was also extremely popular and athletic at the same time.  We now have more friends than we can possibly see and lament our lack of free time.  We're both very outgoing and make friends very easily, which I think is really what makes the difference for anyone.

My friends in high school who were also fairly popular are now all doctors and lawyers and the like.  I really don't know what happened to the less popular kids as we haven't kept in touch.
