I might have a unique insight here, as a CS Major/Software Engineering Minor, but if there's a personality difference between the average high school athlete and the C-level executives that actually run this town, I haven't seen or heard about it yet.
The "jock personality" is doing very well here.
The good news: jocks don't actually hate or even dislike nerds. Teammates of mine played World of Warcraft, loved gaming, and participated in numerous nerd pursuits. Throughout my football career I was deeply interested in Computer Science.
Nerds just need to figure out that the jock personality is actually useful, and figure out how to use it.

I think that some people with tons of booksmarts don't see the value of streetsmarts. It is almost ironic, as one would think that all those booksmarts would lead to such a realization.
- zackattack 17y agoMy streetsmarts are mainly the result of a deduction that the cultivation of such smarts is efficient and rational. Happy to go into this further, over email (zackster=gmail).
