Today I found out my younger brother is studying Electrical Engineering. That makes 4 out of 6 of going into the tech industry. My sister has a C.S degree from UMich and I am pursuing a C.S degree as well. My other brother is majoring in Computer Engineering. Plus my father is a technician.
I have found that the many people I talk to who are CS major either had a parent or a sibling who also majored in CS. Do you think that more people are likely to study computers when a parent or sibling aslo has studied it. Have any of you studying CS or Engineering noticed this as well in your own family or other families of people you've talk to.

Dad has engineering degree + MBA, he initially discouraged me from going engineering (at the time he was right).
Oddly enough my wife has a BFA, but now works for a lucrative defense software company (not as a software engineer though).
Most of my friends outside of school are CS majors though, I'll pose the question at the LAN party this Saturday.
We do have a family friend (about my parent's age) who got a Masters in Industrial Engineering. But I have no blood relation to him.
