Even if you work hard. People who are pretty, will always do better than you.

You might be only a pretty face, but it seems that’s all you need to get on in today’s world of work.

A study has found beautiful people do better in their careers – even after their youthful good looks have begun to fade.

At each career stage studied, pretty people held more prestigious jobs than plain Janes.

The researchers said attractive sorts may gravitate to good jobs because they are more confident.

Alternatively, the plain may be penalised by employers.

The British and Italian team used decades of data on more than 8,000 men and women who left school in Wisconsin in the US in 1957.

This included information about employment at various points in life, school photos that were used to rate their looks and information about their education and their parents’ social class.

Those rated the most attractive on leaving school tended to have better jobs and more prestigious careers, even when close to retirement.

The finding held even when other factors, such as intelligence and education, were taken into account.

Researcher Gundi Knies, of Essex University’s Institute for Social and Economic Research, said good looking people may benefit from a ‘beauty premium’.

She added: ‘We found facial attractiveness is important in determining people’s occupational prestige at the beginning of the career as it is in the middle or at the end.’

'Or, in other words, the so called beauty premium is stable throughout people's employment history and pretty people are doing better even as they age.'

Previous studies have shown that attractive people are usually hired sooner, get promotions more quickly and earn up to four per cent more than their colleagues who are less aesthetically pleasing.

Together with colleagues from the University of Milan Biococca, Dr Knies relied on data from the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study, which graduates from the local university in 1957.

A panel of experts assessed their high school yearbook photos and awarded each a beauty score and then tracked their careers by analysing their employment history.

Those with the highest beauty scores were found to have the better jobs and more prestigious careers over those with lower scores, despite other differences in socioeconomic background, parent education and even their own IQs.

'Our facial features are largely genetically determined and the research raises a number of questions regarding the processes that underlie the reproduction of social inequalities, said Dr Knie.

'For example, do beautiful men and women have higher occupational prestige because employers discriminate against plain people?

In short this guy could be a complete idiot and scrap by in medschool, all the while going to parties and having sex with multiple girls.

While this guy could have graduated with honors in med school, and be an excellent physician.

People will hire the guy in the first pic sooner,and promote them in ther career faster than they would the guy in the second pic.

What ya going to do? Such is life. Why bother busting your ass off if your ugly, if your just going to work for someone prettier than you. if your ugly, then create your own company and work for yourself.
