Engineers who did not enjoy school - are they rare?

Arran Cameron
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 this is partly down to the extraordinary (state) primary school they attended, and also because they did a lot of drama and music.

    I have no musical talent and cannot play any instruments. Did I fail at school or did school fail me?


    Does musical talent have any personal advantages in the corporate world even in careers that have nothing to do with music?
