An analysis of 43,533 business school graduates found that attractive people get better jobs with higher salaries.

This “attractiveness premium” seems to grow throughout one’s career. “This study shows how appearance shapes not just the start of a career, but its trajectory over decades,” Nikhil Malik said. This research could also help explain why attractive workers tend to gravitate toward management positions, instead of technical fields. (Study Finds)
