I am a 21-year-old woman working as a software engineer on an industrial placement as part of an information systems degree (IT must offer jobs for the girls).

We techies are labelled as anti-social by the other departments no matter how much we interact with everyone else, and I think unless something changes dramatically people will always have this opinion.
To be honest it does not bother me provided I enjoy my job, which I do.

And I still live the same social life as everyone else, going out and enjoying life.
