      No! I actually fought the urge to be an engineer because it’s what my dad wanted me to do (we didn’t get on very well when I was a teen). I wanted to be a writer or a dancer or philosopher. It wasn’t until I realised that I could work on cool space missions as an engineer that I decided it was the path for me.
