    Is It Better To Be a Jock Or A Nerd...?


    - Michael Jordan having "retired," with $40 million in endorsements, makes $178,100 a day, working or not.

    - If he sleeps 7 hours a night, he makes $52,000 every night while visions of sugarplums dance in his head.

    - If he goes to see a movie, it'll cost him $7.00, but he'll make $18,550 while he's there.

    - If he decides to have a 5 minute egg, he'll make $618 while boiling it.

    - He makes $7,415/hr more than minimum wage.

    - He'll make $3,710 while watching each episode of Friends.

    - If he wanted to save up for a new Acura NSX ($90,000) it would take him a whole 12 hours.

    - If someone were to hand him his salary and endorsement money, they would have to do it at the rate of $2.00 every second.

    - He'll probably pay around $200 for a nice round of golf, but will be reimbursed $33,390 for that round.

    - Assuming he puts the federal maximum of 15% of his income into a tax-deferred account (401k), his contributions will hit the federal cap of $9500 at 8:30am on January 1st.

    - If you were given a penny for every 10 dollars he made, you 'd be living comfortably at $65,000 a year.

    - He'll make about $19.60 while watching the 100-meter dash in the Olympics, and about $15,600 during the Boston Marathon.

    - While the common person is spending about $20 for a meal in his trendy Chicago restaurant, he'll pull in about $5600.

    - This year, he'll make more than twice as much as all U.S. past presidents for all of their terms combined.

    - Amazing isn't it? However...

    - If Jordan saves 100% of his income for the next 450 years, he'll still have less than Bill Gates has today.

    Game over. Nerd wins

    I say neither, play sports if you want, but get an education at the same time. Because face it, if you go to the extreme one way or another you'll prolly end up living on the street :/

    but id take MJ over gates anyday

    Whats funner?

    Being a loser ass computer nerd, or doin somethin fun like playin ball and gettin paid.

    Jock beats nerd.

    I do both, just cuz i get straight A's doesnt make me a nerd. I dont spend all my time studying, i just do some homework, and study for a bit when i have tests. But i still work out, and play basketball.

    Eh... Bill Gates isn't a Nerd and MJ isn't a Jock...
    The kid in your science class wearing glasses 2 inches thick and finishing the AP Exam in 1/4th the time given is a Nerd. According to you, so is Bill Gates, but if I asked which one you wanted to be you'd say Bill Gates... Why? Because Bill Gates is a Business man, the guy accing that exam is a nerd on his way to being the same thing.
    The quarterback of your schools football team that gives kids wedgies and has all the chicks is a Jock, MJ makes Millions by selling shoes, doing commericals (not just sports ones), selling his clothing, and countless other things. But if I asked you which "Jock" you'd rather be, you'd say Michael Jordan. Why? Because Michael Jordan is a business man. Not a jock. Sorry to say but when you're making millions or billions your label tends to change.
    You can't be a jock and make millions because the stereotypes that surround you will make you look bad. Jock usually pick on kids and get all the chicks, but when you're in the national spotlight doing that isn't good for your career and you'll get sued in no time by those kids and by the chicks claiming you impregnated them simply because you have money. Gates isn't a nerd and Jordan isn't a Jock. They're just great Business men. My opinion on the topic.

    Oh, and to answer your question, I'd rather be an established member of society.
