[[ My name is Alice, & welcome to my rabbit hole. ]] XD
Science was one of those classes that I saw as just a “requirement”. Maybe is was the generalized subject matter, maybe it was the teachers I had, or some combo thereof. Regardless, I never had any interest in it. And without interest, I would never apply any more effort than the absolute bare minimum needed to pass and move on.
So, when the aptitude testing pointed at Engineering, I looked into the kinds of classes I would need to focus on through high school - multiple years of Physics, Chemistry, Finite Mathematics. Then into University, more and more of the same. I didn’t even want to take the two mandatory semesters of general science in high school - there was no way I was going to subject myself to any more than that voluntarily.
Another contributing factor was that I was notoriously lazy as a student. I didn’t like putting effort into any subject. For the ones that came easily to me, there was no issue - good grades basically just happened. And I guess that’s kind of how I ended up on the path I did. It was essentially the path of least resistance. A goal I could attain while doing the least amount of work along the way.
Well, you wanted rambling - I think I came through for you. =]
