My dad repaired a few televisions (that didn't have cracked cathode ray tubes) - the problem was that my great-grandmother couldn't conceive of any possible use for an electrical engineering degree aside from repairing televisions.

My grandfather was a mechanical engineer, and his father was a lumberjack who couldn't conceive of any possible use for a mechanical engineering degree aside from building pulleys.
