Engineers who did not enjoy school - are they rare?

This might come across as a very strange question but is it uncommon to find engineers who did not enjoy school or think highly of the schools that they attended? I have encountered numerous computing and IT types over the years who did not enjoy school or had bad experiences at school but very few electrical or mechanical engineers.

  • I think liking school is a blend of social qualities and an aptitude for study, which I view as a skill in itself. I've known many good engineers who are poor students and vice versa. Obviously the specific qualities of the school, teachers and contemporaries has a bearing too, not forgetting parents input into the blend.
