You look at other peoples shoes.No,really some of my best friends are engineers.OK,I probably would be one too but my math is terrible so I became a sculptor.I still get to make and destroy cool stuff,play with molten metal while juggling chain saws, but all on paper first.(grins)

... then went to drafting ... then wanted to know more about what I was drawing. Civil Engineering was tedious. Electrical was rather predictable. Nuclear was a tad too both esoteric & empirical for me to feel comfortable predicting. Chemical seemed presumptuous in that they didn't bother explaining left & right hand molecules in biochemistry. So, I stuck with Mechanical because primarily when things move stuff gets damn interesting. Plus, my art background seemed to train my mind to predict vibrational motion & flexture in quasi-stationary complex 3D objects as well as other phenomena.PS: Yes, I was always good in math. However, what I didn't realise was how much writing came with the job.
....just my 2¢
