Jocks Vs Geeks ?? (Score 1)

Hummm...I am a Slashdot reader since a few months now. And i must say i'm a bit sceptical about this conflict between geeks and jocks. We really don't have this kind of conflict in France, at least i never really heard about it, or saw it. Here, when you are the university or one of the "grandes écoles", you're studying with you peers, IT students are in IT schools and sports or Financial students are in sports or financial schools. Like this, discrimination is much less to happen. And it is the same at work, i am working as a journalist in the Hardware Test Lab of a french press group. And i must say that on 300 hundred people there's really a few few jocks between them. I wouldn't say that we have 300 real pure geeks here but everyone is working with computers and therefore respects the ones who have knowledged about them.The point is that you will never be discriminated if you're the right place with the right people. You don't grow happy fishes in the air...
