Question: do your parents support your choice to be an engineer? if so have they always been so supportive?

Hi Leshi, yep, my parents are pretty cool and they pretty much left it up to me to decide what I wanted to do as a career – they’ve alwaysbeen encouraging of anything 🙂 nobody in my family is at all technical so I’mnot convinced that anybody understands anything I do, but then I think most people don’t know what engineers do!
