I get your point. I (half kidding) wish my mother had told me "you'll never find a nice woman if you're working in a basement with a bunch of disgusting nerds".

I am proud to be an engineer. But sometimes we fail to cultivate an image that other intelligent people would like to be part of.

That's because engineers don't construct this image, and cultural preconceptions nowadays don't come from reality but get constructed in TV studios.

The trick here is to channel your interests into interesting hobbies. They should be foremost for you and your own development, but hobbies and related passion makes for much more interesting conversation.
