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.

  • Hi Arran,

    I don't like it when people make points and then walk away from a discussion, but I regret to say that's exactly what I'm going to have to do - I'm having a hectic fortnight in the day job and life in general.

    Just one point, please note I fully agree that schools aren't doing everything they could to help develop social and team skills, so let's change them so they do.

    Thanks,

    Andy
