I'm interested in knowing if anyone here are the first in their family to pursue STEM, Med, Mathematics or physics.
Are they proud of you for breaking the family mold?

no, my dad got his engineering degree in 76

i am in my immediate family but not in extended family
it's not really a big deal

Go away roastie. You have no business being in STEM.

First in my Canadian family. I'm a technical tradesmen going for EE first year still though. Family was pissed I was quitting my trade but now seem excited after like a year of being pissed. Everyone else works office related shit and there are a couple other tradesmen.

The family in Germany has teachers, engineers and doctors though.

I am, engie master race. Feels good being a giant among brainlets

I'm the first in my family to do math in university in 60 years. My grandmother was going to be a mathematician until she met my grandfather then she changed course to be a teacher. The rest of my family are labourers, therapists etc.
They call me weird but hey normies will be normies

Out of curiosity, what country are you from?

Yeah, manufacturing engineering. First one to go to a 4 year College too

I'm the first one to go to uni and they are proud of me.

Physics ms here. First in my family. My parents hate it, they wanted me to be an actuary or lawyer

I am. They are proud, sort of, because they think there are BIG BUCKS in my future (PROTIP: Not really). As long as we never talk about it, because they are very religious and also very distrustful of scientific expertise, they seem to be ok with it.

I am. First to study any stem degree, doing physics. And no they really don't give a shit. They think im a disappointment because instead of persuing an easy minimum pay dead end job i wanted to learn about things that interest me

I broke the mold by taking physics instead of the previous infinity generations of engineers or whatever their equivalent was at the time. Yes my family is the epitome of white.

Pure math fag here

> father is a lawyer, he doesn't understand what's the purpose of math without applications. He wanted me to do my social service where we worked saying they needed a lot mathematicians there. Absolute BS

> mother psychologist. I explained her once or twice math stuff and, with drawings she has got one or two things

> older brother a surgeon. He got married and has no time. He loves when I make engineers look like fools because they "can't integrate this rational polynomial function"

They think I'm smart when I talk about non math stuff. Math does give thought structure to your brain but I'm average

My grandfather is the only other STEM Master Race, he was an Electrical Engineer in the Navy and worked on Radio waves in the 40s and 50s before becoming the head of big transistor factories in the 60s and retiring in the 80s.

My father's a journalist, my mother a PR specialist for liberal arts colleges. My other grandfather was a financial adviser. I've got an aunt who teaches high school math which is the closest thing.

My brother is getting a PhD in euphonium performance, my mother is absolutely thrilled with him and disappointed in my career path (physics with oceanography focus and marine biology). Asked her what she thought of STEM and she tried arguing with me that in some parts of the country it was actually called STEAM with an A that stands for Arts so she's actually already got a son in STEAM as my brother is an Arts student.

My parents met in their biochem phd program. My dad is forever disappointed that I have a bachelors in EE.

Similar to me. my great grandfather was a genius-tier EE who did classified missile shit for the government during the Cold war. My great uncle was a civil engineer, but my parents and father's parents are all historians/philosophers or some combination. My mom secretly wanted me to be a violin performance major but I did EE instead

My dad told me he was studying something like civil engineering, but on a smaller scale, he would design small parts and draw them to scale (on paper) and what it would look like from different perspectives. The only info he got was measurements. It was at a polytechnic institute but he didn't finish because not enough people where in that program so they closed it. He then became a self made electrical engineer, he would design audio receivers, speakers, subwoofers, and other shit, of he were to study EE at uni I bet he could do it and get a degree.

I am out of resources right now but when I get my shit together I will study physics or mechanical engineering. I'm not good at math though, suggestions? Maybe chemistry, astronomy (not so much math maybe), or any engineering field since you all say that engies only learn up to calc 1... I want science with the least math. Inb4 then it wouldn't be science!!1

Well, some time he will understand that not all children can be as smart as their parents because of regression to the mean

I am the first in my family, and no they are not proud of me breaking the family mold at all.

They noticed that I fucked around in one of my math courses which I dropped and need to retake, and they are already saying shit like,
"Have you ever thought about gettin into welding like your grandfather did? Do you know how much your cousin is making right now stig welding while you are out here throwing away thousands of dollars per year on an (((education)))?"

He's probably dissapointed with himself, as biochem is a brainlet subject compared to EE.

Dad is IT, grandpa civil eng and in MENSA, uncle is chemE, a cousin or two is studying in MIT right now, some are vets/drs. I think I will be first to get a PhD (EE, optics/photonics focused) if all goes well.

Engineers learn at least calc 1-3, diff eq, and linear algebra

envirosci can range from a full blown sjw bullshit degree to real shit
