Should kids who are hopeless at team sports and hate PE lessons at school be engineers?

Arran Cameron
This might come across as a strange question...


Would you recommend engineering as a career for kids who are hopeless at team sports and hate PE lessons at school?


There appears to be far less research into kids who are hopeless at team sports and the resulting impact on careers than with kids that are useless at academics.

    I would say that being good at team sports or PE has little relevance to being a good team payer in the world of engineering. I was hopeless at sports and I just put up with PE. Always brought my kit but never enjoyed it. Couldn't catch a ball, always came last in races, and I still don't follow any sports.

    However, I've always been a team player, and have built and mentored a number of successful engineering teams. So, in my opinion it's chalk and cheese?
