Mechanical Engineering Community Hobbies
Hey everyone, I wanted to see what your co workers are like. I'm a fairly new graduate and am a mechanical engineer. Where I work, I work with a wide variety of people with different engineering backgrounds. I know engineers can carry the label "nerds" but is it realistic that there are more engineers out there who aren't obsessed with anime, play video games 24|7, and do stuff like that? I'm someone who likes to be outside, be active, and do just about the opposite of anything my co workers like to do. It was similar to this in school but with there being a bigger pool of people there, there were a handful that shared some of my interests or at least had interests within the same genre.
I'm not judging anyone, it doesn't matter at all what they're doing, but I would just like to find some other people with similar interests that I can hang out with and relate to, especially at work as a new grad where I'm trying to be friendly and whatnot. And I've tried anime, not my thing. I play a very small amount of video games, but nothing as advanced as these folks.
And I know having co workers means you don't have to be best friends with them but it would be nice to be able to relate to and converse with your co workers a bit better.
