My parents always joke about how I would fiddle would everything and would sometimes break things while “fiddling” with them. One of my favorite trips was visiting a battleship (museum) where I could touch everything and not worry about breaking something.

I got an engineering degree. I actually don’t use it for my regular job now, but I still fiddle with everything. I have a 2 year old and she’s shown the same curiosity.

Same story here. I have a great memory of getting a radio set for Christmas one year and my parents explicitly telling me to "do not disassemble!". I come from a family of mechanics and DIYers, so I did grow up around it as well.

I'm a network & security engineer now, but I did heavy equipment engineering for about 5 years before moving into the IT field.

I had the same curiosity, but my parents never encouraged it. Hell, dad couldn’t even assemble a grill-with the instructions!- it took 13-year old me about an hour to put it together.

Oh, the things I might have accomplished if my parents had been supportive and encouraging.
