My mother was working in early years support services, dealing with children with behavioural issues.

My biological father (sperm donor) was working in the aerospace engineering industry as he had all my life.

(Ps. Weirdly my mother and the various schools failed to notice my autism, and I actually ended up working in the same field as SD and his father, my grandfather who was a senior manager at RR. It’s how I got into Rolls Royce aerospace division, at the interview (at 18) they asked if I was related to him. I said yes and was given a job. By this point though it was just before I took a sabbatical and joined the British Army for a while. Before once again going back to the family buisness of aerospace engineering once again)
