If you want to be likeable, pick-up hobbies. Dance, book clubs, music, sports (sailing, running, skiing, biking), travels, arts, etc. Being different is a lot better than being smart because makes you interesting. Additionally, being around people will enhance your social skills. Social/Soft skills will become increasingly important as move forward IMO, regardless of industry. Hobbies combined with positive attitude and empathy are qualities that will drive people towards you, which to me looks like your end-goal. That said, one of the good reasons to get a Master's Degree, is because you want to. If you pursue that area, try to do it as best as you can. Pick-up a school that will separate you from others, try to get high votes and actually learn, not just pass the exams.
