Argumentative Essay

Everyone knew them--the kids in highschool with wire-rimmed glasses and pocket protectors, the ones who were too busy with their noses shoved in a book to realize what was going on in the real world around them. They were the ones who dissidently disagreed to wear attractive clothes or do anything normal in society's eyes. The kids who circumvented prom and all other social gatherings simply because they didn't fit in. We've all hear the saying "geek today, boss tomorrow," but just how much truth is behind it? Do geeks really rule?
In some cases, yes, they do. Geeks are often top wage earners--CEO's of banks, neurosurgeons, and even scientists. These assiduous nerds came out on top. What about the popular kids; where do they end up? The senior class favorite, Homecoming King, and all-state football player goes off to college, parties too hard, drops out, then becomes a construction worker in the small hometown he desperately wanted to get away from. Not all jocks drop out, in some cases, they graduate to become Junior High football coaches, which is so very ambitious. And the blonde bimbo? The beautiful and mean vixen goes to beauty school and graduates top of her class. Geeks work hard in school so they don't have to work as hard out of school. They're the ones with the mansions, the cool cars, and the private planes to take them where they want, when they want.
On the other hand, they are still looked upon as geeks no matter how wealthy they become. These geeks can't effectively communicate with others because they didn't learn social skills in high school. They still aren't attractive. After all, money can't buy everything, even beauty. They lack the personality that it takes to climb to the the top of the social ladder. No matter what, they're still geeks.
Geeks don't always climb to the top and jock don't always fall to the bottom. Who says a smart guy can't be good looking? Who says the Homecoming King can't break the dumb job mold? Who says the blonde bimbo has to become a hairdresser?
