I really dont know much about your socialization circle but I have stayed for years in CA (Orange County), NC (Raleigh, Charlotte), VA (Richmond) and DC and I have met quite educated Desi guys. From lawyers to Drs, from Software Engineers to IT Directors and from research fellows to PHDs.
Its about time that you change your circle even location. May be you are looking at wrong places? (hint: mostly educated and career oriented guys are not party freaks )
Top places to look for Educated Desi guys are
Orange County (Tustin, Tustin Ranch, Irvine, Anaheim and around)
Yes Raleigh/Cary/Morrisville is the home of some very decent professionals desis. (add Durham to it too but I wont make it home because of neighborhood crime rate).
Most probably, some point in future, i’ld love to go back to Raleigh/Cary and make it home. For now, I think Toronto is the best choice for my family (if not for me) due to education and presence of many close relatives
LOL, I was about to say , move to Charlotte . There are very few eligible bachelors here though because the community is way smaller than , Chicago, LA , SFO, NJ and NY.
Atlanta is also a good place to find lot of parhay likay , Pakistanies.
Great list … agreed. But you forgot Boston… America’s educational capital. As I mentioned earlier in my post… it is very difficult to find someone who is NOT educated. Its to another level here too… multiple degrees and such is very common. There are a lot of a desi social networks here as well (beyond universities student associations… there are lots of professional organizations)… just a great city to meet someone in my opinion.
You’ll find guys here that are dentists, doctors, have mba’s, lawyers, IT & Engineers (Hello… MIT and Harvard anyone?), etc. The list is continuous.
PCG, How about sponsoring an orphan’s education in Pakistan until he’s able to stand up on his two feet?

We can all bih about the lack of education, but let’s all get off our butts and off our computers and let’s try n make a difference, shall we?
I’ve a few more months to go before graduation, and if I get a job I will INSHALLAH start sponsoring an orphan in Pakistan, all the ways up to the PhD level and Inshallah even for post doctoral studies.
WONDERFUL organization that I am a part of - I think everyone should try to become a member if they live near a chapter And if you don’t - you can always donate!
Oh wow! Thanks a million for sharing these organization guys! I really don’t know much about orgs in Pakistan, I was just thinking of sponsoring a child privately but hey, if there are organizations out there, all the better.
