There is someone for everyone.  I was Ultra-Nerd in high school; got beat up, picked on, and mercilessly mocked every day.  But now I have an excellent job, a secure future, and a great life with my partner.  Don't ever give up on yourself - that's the one sure way to ruin.\n"Living well is the best revenge."

You guys are totaly way off. I AM a geek. We're nothing like that. You're thinking of nerds.\nNerds are more knowledgeable on academic things, while geeks are better with more specific things. (Think computer programming, comic books, any show with "star" in the name.) Dorks are the socially challenged people.\n\nTo be a geek, first you need an interest. Sports do not not count. (Red Skins are no-no.) Start getting more wired. Take your printer apart. Stay up late on the Internet. Take computer oriented classes. Learn how to 1337 5l*34l<, or find out what visual basic programming is.\n\nIf you can't get into computers, get into video games, MMORPGs, or comics (I like manga). Be a VBG33K.\n\nOf course, as it was said, you can be a geek and 'be cool'. I just gave you the pathway to hardcore geekage, and set you straight on the difference between nerds and geeks.

I think I am cooler than both of them combined.  I think that because I am so handsome and smart, and I am also talented in many ways.  I am an award winning journalist and musician.  Need I go on?  Also, my girlfriend is extremely attractive and faithful to boot.\n\nThere is no way those guys can compete.

If you fail again I would get a computing degree in another title!\nWhat does it matter if your behind your peers. Education is not about competition its about persaverence. It will all pay off in the end everyone is always looking for a computer specialist to keep their business running. I know it is hard but you have to believe in your ability and have conifidence that the knowledge that you took the time to learn will make a difference to someone. I know how hard it is I am a University of Tennessee graduate with a polictical science degree and I can't even afford mcdonalds.

Very broad choices. Why did you chose those two? Whats your interest? Choose what you like doing that will make it the best for you. I'd first recommend being better with your spelling because neither of those professions take sloppy work well.

doesn't it suck. i bet sometimes you wish you were the hottest most popular girl in school and all you had to worry about is something stupid like. oh i don't know oh yeah i have this old friend that is a geek should i still be their friend? wouldn't life be so simple. i bet the hot girl at your school has already done him.

If you get a position with a successful gaming company you have the potential of making large sums of money. There are a lot of programs out there that focus on game design, so the market may become flooded, but I am not sure that it will.\n\nOh, and ignore the guy above, my boyfriend is a programmer, and he isn't a geek by any means. Programming and IT aren't the geek fields that they used to be.\n\nWhen picking a school, check what companies they have affiliations with (places they can assist you in getting a job), and do expect the degree to be fairly expensive (the best schools with the best affiliations tend to be pricey).

Damn poor pair of choices. Can I pick both?

It differs from person to person.\nMathematics is more interesting for me.\nYou know better whats good for you. So, don't listen to others and do what you feel like doing.\nAfter all its the question of your career.\nSo why take chances?\n\nBest of Luck!

A short story about this topic:\n\nMy male cousin went to my school and was the "hot" guy.  He would not talk to me because I was a nerd.  He went to the same university as I did.  One day I saw him on campus walking alone and looking so dejected.  He wasn't the "hot" guy anymore.  He was just another student among 20,000 other students.  He could not handle it and dropped out of college to get a menial job in our hometown where he could be the "former hot" guy.  \n\nThe moral of the story:  Intelligence and personality will get you farther in life than good looks alone.

The funny thing is that my fiance and I had this conversation not even a week ago. I said it was because he was more of an outcast not because he was a "nerd".. He wasn't smart enough to be in the "nerd" category he was more of a stoner than anything.
