 my family on both sides for several generations have been nurses and orderlies, pretty much 
 analysts and monitors 
 ah yeah, and engineer/tinkerers haha... my opa built several houses, so did my father, so did my grandfather, he was also a mathematics teacher and was grumpy with me for my dad not pushing me to get into computers more (and he did eventually get a computer and i was a pig for it of course) 
 Almost all of the men are engineers, technicians, and electricians or farmers. People who like "things".
My father is a network engineer and my mother is a budget analyst.
