Is this new ? - did not Billy Elliot inspire a generation of miner's kids to learn ballet and move to London, or is that perhaps another urban myth ?
The other side to this is the UK absence of technocratic management and top floor roles for technical people- the director of innovation in a German Firma ist likely to be addressed as Herr Doktor Inginier or something similarly academic.
In the UK the similar role is quite likely to be occupied by the second cousin of Sir Burton Tufton, a solid chap from the right school, maybe the horse guards and a jolly good egg for sure, but not especially technical, more of a genetic descendant of Bertie Wooster.
Engineering of all forms needs to be seen to lead to the top, only then folk will be happy to get on half way up.
