If you're ugly, you better go the entrepreneur/business owner route; or specific skill (beind the scene) route.
"Physically attractive individuals have higher income than average individuals. "
"Surprisingly, the attractiveness premium does not vary by gender."
"In the research reported here, we identified leaders' facial structure as a specific physical trait that correlates with organizational performance. Specifically, we found that firms whose male CEOs have wider faces (relative to facial height) achieve superior financial performance."
"Research overwhelmingly shows that facial appearance predicts leader selection."
"We find clear confirmation that CEOs do look different when compared to citizens or professors, replicating the finding that faces matter for selection. More importantly, we also find that faces of CEOs of top performing firms do not differ from other CEOs. Based on our advanced face recognition method, our results suggest that facial appearance matters for leader selection but that it does not do so for leader performance."
"Attractive workers earn 10-15% more than their unattractive co-workers.
A larger woman (on average) earns less, whereas larger men earn more.
Looks can be linked to self esteem indirectly, which will cause higher or lower pay later on in your career.
Does this mean that beautiful people really are innately more capable? No."

The Facial Appearance of CEOs: Faces Signal Selection but Not Performance
Research overwhelmingly shows that facial appearance predicts leader selection. However, the evidence on the relevance of faces for actual leader ability and consequently performance is inconclusive. By using a state-of-the-art, objective measure for ...
