Mr. Bean is an Engineer!

Well this is a new, yet interesting fact (At least to me!)

I didn't know that the famous comedian Rowan Atkinson, is actually an Electrical Engineer! and with an MSc degree!

I even looked it up on Wikipidia, he is a graduate of Queens College at Oxford University.

Being an electronics Engineer (which is close as a major) makes me wonder, why would some people put all that effort in their education, and then convert their career into a completely different path?!

is it part of doing what you like in life?

or is it because till now there is no effective way of choosing an education that is %100 fit for you? (meaning how can a high school student, a senior of course, can choose the right college for himself?)
