My grandfather, like both my great-grandfathers, was a train driver. It was his belief that someone in the family should study. So he paid for my studies, and also chose the subject. It wasn't my favourite subject, as I came to realise in the course of time. Nonetheless, I completed my studies at the ETH (Federal Technical University) in Zurich as an elecrtical engineer, although I never worked in this profession.
