I think it's OK, although I'm probably not a good judge as it was already rather self-evident that engineering is "exciting and beneficial" by the time I was 11 -- like many people on here, I was already fascinated by electronics at a very young age and definitely didn't need any prompting to get into it formally as time passed.



Although I am curious as to how Jim's career in achitecture would have turned out if he'd stayed with that rather than electronics...


I was a speaker there _many_ years ago.

I'd probably be a well-known architect. In my student days I had already carried off several design contest wins.

I still dabble... modifying the design of both of the new houses we bought.
