I guess it all depends on upbringing. My father was a D1 football
scholarship athlete and got a BSEE and MS in biomedical engineering in
addition to being a fighter pilot. My grandfather was also a highshool
athlete who got a deferred congressional nomination to the Naval Academy,
but ended up going to Univ. of Akron instead and graduated with a BSEE. He
ended up being one of Werner Von Braun's best friends and they did a lot of
work on missiles and rockets  together. I was a three sport athlete in HS
and had offers for football and soccer for college. I ended up taking a
soccer scholarship mostly because I had a neck injury that I was afraid
would be compounded if I played college level football. I ended up with a
BSEE as well. I'm 48 and still play organized soccer at least once and
sometimes twice a week. We aren't all troglodytes.
