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.
Well an interesting idea and to be honest school primary and secondary was probably the worst experience I’ve ever had. Bulling was not considered a issue and the struggle to learn, meant more bullying even by teachers. Best thing was leaving at 15 and I saying good bye to education.
A opertunity once I had left School to do a practical job as an electricians mate, with a great site formal seeing my eagerness to learn and then giving me the chance. Getting me to go to college and be treated as an adult, kick started my long learning journey.
Schools may have changed and you don’t need to like school to be a great engineer, you just need to have a passion to be practical, creative, questioning and want to understand.
