Let's pretend that we live in a bizarre future society in which you can be either:

Fantastically good looking and generally gregarious/highly personable.

or.......

As plain as a Little Chef dessert menu, but, blessed with great academic prowess leading to a glittering career and the lifestyle that this would afford you.

Remember, you can only pick one of these options (don't ask me why, it's like Total Recall meets Weird Science meets Logan's Run or something) which would you pick and why?
