Computer geek is not an occupation.
How you see yourself matters a lot Dothack. Why not say, "Oh hi I work for a medical company as a programmer. We are currently designing a system that helps disabled people walk". What girl would not like that?
I'm an engineer, and I don't just sit there and program video games, I create designs that help people in the real world and am very proud of the company I work for. I guess I could be considered a geek, but I don't really fit any stereotypical profile.
