Do you think a STEM degree actually lowers your social status by you getting associated with timid, introverted beta males?

People seem to look down on you if you have a STEM degree, or at least you get to be the weirdo engineer guy, not the cool business or finance guy...

Whats up with that? As a software dev I earn way more money than anyone I know in my age group.

Yet I feel like being a software engineer or any other kind of engineer except the artsy types like architechture has zero prestige. Whats up with that?

Should I just lie and say I'm just a lazy piece of shit hipster living off of my parents money? Girls love those assholes for some reason.
