Studies conducted by separate researchers indicate a correlation between beauty and money but also that virtually nothing can be done to change a person’s beauty, even through plastic surgery, according to news reports.
According to a recent study by Middle Tennessee State University researchers, real estate agents who are relatively more attractive tend to sell properties at higher prices. Sean Salter, a finance professor who co-authored the study, believes that this is because of the “halo effect,” where attractive people seem more intelligent and capable purely because of their looks.
Salter’s study was based on Daniel Hamermesh’s study of beauty’s role in the workplace. Hamermesh, a professor at the University of Texas at Austin and author of "Beauty Pays: Why Attractive People Are More Successful," argued that someone with below-average looks would earn $1.46 million if he or she earned $20 per hour over 40 years, while someone with above-average looks would earn $1.69 million.
He also found that unattractive people have a harder time entering some occupations, like law and politics, where physical beauty is emphasized.
However, altering appearance via plastic surgery does not raise wages, according to research by Lee Soo-hyung, a professor at University of Maryland, College Park. Lee studied Koreans who had undergone plastic surgery and found that even though the changes made some feel better, it didn’t improve their pay situation.
Different studies also show that other changes, like dressing better and applying makeup, unfortunately have almost no effect on beauty. Hamermesh said, “We can’t change our looks much.” He suggested emphasizing other redeeming qualities, like intelligence, to make up for any shortcomings in physical appearance.

예전부터 외모가 호감형인 사람이 그렇지 못한 사람보다 돈을 더 번다? 성공한다는 확률에 관한 얘기는 익히 있어왔는데...
이 기사의 요점은... 그 비 호감형...인 외모를 PS 수술을 통해 고친다고 해도 성공, 또는 돈을 더 벌수있는 확률은 제한적이다.
라는 얘기.
따라서 좋게 얘기하면 수술 할 돈으로 자기의 객관적 능력 자체를 향상시켜서 돈을 더 벌던가, 아님 그돈이라도 아끼는게 낫다는..
정해진 운명이나 원죄등의 추상적인 얘기는 전혀 믿지 않는 편이지만, 이런 현실을 보면.. 어쩌면 어느정도의 범위는 우리가 태어나는순간 상당부분 제한되는게 아닌가 하는 생각은 든다.
물론 성공하지 못하거나, 돈을 벌지 못한다고 그탓을 하기엔 힘들정도로 그 영향은 미미할지라도...
