The best revenge is to do well.  Seriously, I was also the kid who was 
picked last in gym class for all the team sports because I absolutely 
sucked at all of them.  I had maybe 4 friends through high school, a few 
more in college (though I've only heard from 3 or 4 since leaving school, 
and not very often at that)

Even at the various jobs I've worked, I've generally been regarded (until 
the last 5 years, really) as someone that if they could avoid interacting 
with, that was a good thing.  My boss at my last job (> 5 years ago) and 
a few of my teammates I'd go out for a beer with after work.  But users 
(> 95% of the company)?  Generally the less they saw of me, the better - 
so they seemed to think.

I look back at some of the kids I went to high school with and see where 
they are - and while a few have done well for themselves, most seem to be 
stuck in some sort of dead-end job that doesn't look to pay all that well.

You have the skills and the talent to leave them in the dust.  Do it, and 
never look back.

Jim
