Do they tend to do the same degree?
Re: Siblings
No.
Re: Siblings
Me and my brother are doing same degree. It helps a lot because he has past exams and hw
Re: Siblings
Not usually
Re: Siblings
Well, and this is purely anecdotal, but we never did.
Re: Siblings
Not always.
My husband and his brother chose the exact same profession.
My 2 sisters and I…we’re in 3 totally different fields.
Re: Siblings
Not necessarily. All my siblings are going to end up in teaching though everyone has a different degree.
Re: Siblings
Not necessarily indeed but choosing a career depends on various factors. I’ve noticed when early pioneers of a family such as father/elder siblings become highly successful in a field, the rest start to see them as role models and develop interest, otherwise they don’t.
Re: Siblings
Depends, I have seen whole family of doctors. Parents were docs, then kids were docs, those kids married docs and so on. Lol
But my siblings and I chose very different fields.
Re: Siblings
Me and my siblings have totally different majors.
Re: Siblings
My siblings and I have completely different degrees/majors.
Re: Siblings
nope…it happens in professional ‘households’…doctor, lawyer, accountant, architect families etc..
Re: Siblings
No
Re: Siblings
Interesting observation.
Re: Siblings
In households with more than one offspring, sometimes siblings pursue the same degree. Other times, they pursue similar degrees, with varying degrees of similarity. And there are occasions when they pursue different degrees. One should also consider the possibility that none or some of the sibling pursue any degree.
In households with only one offspring, the degrees pursued are similar if there are any degrees pursued. Else, no degree is pursued.
In households with no offsprings, it can be safely stated that there are no degrees for consideration.
Re: Siblings
I’m sure if one sibling ventures into the medical, engineering, or even law field parents would want all their kids to go down that route (I know some of my relatives are like that), but it doesn’t necessarily happen all the time.
Re: Siblings
No
Re: Siblings
No and Yes, I studied engineering while my two younger brothers studied business. Parents sometimes influence such decisions but in my opinion one should let a child study what they want and/or are good at
Re: Siblings
When I read the thread title, I read it as “do they tend to the same degree” and was mightily confused.

Re: Siblings
Not in my case lol. My sisters and I (I’m the youngest of three girls) all went on completely different career paths.
