On a BBC Radio 4 program this week that had a trangendered theme - one comment that caught my attention was "most of us seem to be engineers".

Do you have an engineering background? I do. I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering so let's start the poll with that.

I do not exclude non graduates here.

Answer truthfully, please.

Bachelors in Electrical Engineering and working on my Masters.

Not an engineer. BS in Business Management to be an IT geek. As for the various girls I have talked with over the years, I think it's been a fairly even spread across a lot of fields of endeavor.

No. I've only been on a train a few times.

I'm an engineering school drop-out.

BSEE

I didn't graduate, but was a physics major. then later went back to work on a agri-business drgree.

No, my first degree was psychology, then I went into anthropology.

However, during my military years, I was in engineering on a large ship, where I thoroughly learned the steam cycle and making potable water, a bit about electrical plant operation, and a whole lot about damage control and nuclear, biological, and chemical warfare defense. I also stood underway deck watches, some navigation in the open ocean and entering port, and also several stents in electronics/operation where I was introduced to ELANT and radar navigation. One of our Captains was an old submariner, and believed his officers should be able to be multi-purpose for emergencies. I did find that aspect fun, and was better able to appreciate the other departments on the ship.

Science degree. Engineering was never my thing. I guess it wasn't abstract enough for me.

Physics, then business, then bum, then media consultant, but deep down inside very much an engineer/geek/"I-can-make-that-work"

Can you say, "Erector Set for Xmas?"

Not really I just like playing with old cars...........

Computer Science degree, went to an engineering school and have a nerd/engineering mind.

From what I know about engineers, I have an engineering mind, and fit right in. I was admitted to an engineering college as an electrical engineer. Since I had good grades, no one stood in my way. But when I saw that my math skills would not be up to it, I switched majors before the first day of classes.
I had a year of being surrounded by engineer-to-bes, though. (And, at the time, no women classmates at all.)

I know now that if I could have been shown a different way to study math, I could possibly have made it work. I was left on my own, and did not discover any of this for another 16 years. By that time, I was not going to go back and try to catch up.

I'm an electrical engineer also

yes, mechanical engineer. technically I'm a marine engineer, which is a variety of mechanical, and like Susan and a few others was in the merchant navy for a while. now I build power plants.
