Married to an Engineer: The Positive and The Negative

Positive: Able to fix most things around the house.

Negative: When he finds the time to do it, it will take a month, $1,000, and 6 trips to Home Depot to change a lightbulb.

The best way to get him to do stuff around the house is to threaten to do it yourself or worse, hire someone to do it.



Positive: Has an occupation that is in high demand, with a stable employment base. Great salary and benefits.

Negative: Works a lot; not home much.

Positive: Not home much.



Positive: Not preoccupied with superficial things like appearance, grooming, etc. This is a lot easier to change than basic personality traits like honesty and work ethic, which most engineers have in abundance.

Negative: Needs some minor alterations. However, replace the gimmie shirts, get a decent haircut and product, and lose 10-15 lbs. of fat, and they usually clean up just fine. Don't forget to moisturize. They are happy to have you take care of this.
