Sadly, the PP is right. I'm admittedly a nerdy person married with a former jock and he's much much more successful. People love this whole teamwork under pressure, work ethic, being able to juggle multiple tasks at the same time. Success is 99% ability to BS effectively and being at the right place at the right time. Jocks are usually very social and competitive so they have a clear advantage when it comes to management positions. My BFF from grad school played goalie on her hockey team in undergrad and she got a deluge of great job offers. I saw the same patterns for military in grad school; fighter pilots were the first to be recruited for trading positions at the top banks, nobody cared about SAT, GMAT, grades etc. My DC1 is in med school and personal charisma makes it or breaks it in the residency interviews.
Honestly, [b]if you are a white, tall, narcissistic former athlete from an UMC family, your world is your oyster. You make the rules.[/b] [/quote]
I think good looking helps a lot too, no?[/quote]
I think you meant to add MALE, white, tall, former athlete... etc must be MALE.  There will soon be no White FEMALE athletes beyond rec.[/quote]
Why will there be no white female athletes beyond rec soon?[/quote]

He's making a joke about how MTF transsexuals will soon take over competitive women's sports.

I don't think they'll have a huge impact on women's sports overall (due to their relatively small numbers), but they will likely start to dominate the very top end soon enough.[/quote]
