Were your parents both engineers, physicists, or mathies?

Post Reply New Topic

I am disappointed in my parents for not becoming scientists.

My dad studied engineering for a year or so then switched into aviation while my mom is a doctor.

My Mom is a scientist and my Dad is a doctor. So they're both logical minds.

lawyers both.

my dad should have been an engineer. He got second in the provincial physics challenge to his brother too many years in a row, then abandoned studying science for English.

Just the aspie one.

My dad did stuff with computers and was an artist.

My mom was going for a degree in the medical field but never finished.

My father is a commercial pilot while my mother used to work for Compaq computers and now she works as an assistant broker for Smith Barney.

No. My biological mother was considered mentaly ret*d and unable to function independly. I have no idea what my biological father's occupation was but it was something blue collar.

I have family who are engineers and the sort, but no not mine. My grandfather was a business man and my cousins on his side have a lights techie and an engineer. Furtherback, you'll see architects, engineers and ministers as great-great uncles and so forth.

My father is a computer programmer. My mother has an English degree and almost became a teacher, but ended up being a stay-at-home mom for most of my life; now she's an elementary school behavioral coach. My mom's the one with the Aspie traits, although neither of my parents is much of a people person.

My mother is a saleswoman. She's been persuading people to buy things they don't need since she was sixteen.

My father aced high school and knows everything there is to know about China, but he never went to college and never had a career of any sorts as far as I can tell.

My dad was an x-ray technician for the military, and my mom has worked for the UPS, Walmart, and as a French teacher for two different high schools.

My parents were practically teenage drug addicts when I was "Created". Now my father is the VP of a beverage company and my mother is working in fashion design. I feel like a mutation to be honest... I got nothing from my parents aside from my artistic talent from my mother's side of the family... and yet my art is my own. My intelligence seems to be my own as well >_<

Nope, but both have their own strange characteristics.

My dad was a dentist who was very good and so obsessed with his work that he often said he disliked going on vacation because he felt so unproductive during that time. His best friend once referred to him as "a real nut"".

My mom was a college music professor with many obsessions and AS traits, but not in the right combinations to accurately fit the AS description.

Of course dentistry could be very loosely connected to engineering and music has a strong math connection so who can really say. I was an engineer myself. The two of them were destined to not get along due to my mom's obsession with herself and determination to find fault with my dad to boost her own ego. So they were divorced when I was 6... and my mom continued to vehemently badmouth my dad until about 6 months before his death 13 years ago.
