This choice is down to the person in question - whichever of the 2 they
want to do. That choice is based more on the nurture side of the
nature/nurture argument - i reckon so, as i think environment plays a
bigger part than inheritance on your current mindset.

It's not a case of 'Which one should they do', its 'Which do they want to
do' with the want, being a product of mainly environment.

Although this is the more selfish view - if Einstein wanted to be a figure
skater, then the world would probably not be as well off - but i like
selfish, that's what environment has done to me ;)

also, best mistype ever - Simon's comment the other day that the only way
to see if nature or nurture was the driving force would be by "...breading
babies....". Hmm get me some....
