Thanks for your post Cynthetiq.
Personal desire certainly is a part of the mix! I was aiming to find out how predestined people would consider their lives to be. Personal desire is also something that can change direction due to experiences in life, AND change the direction of this same life.
I'm starting to see more clearly how complex the subject is- one may inherit perseverence and insight for instance, two factors that wil have much impact on individual development, while experiences in life might influence the direction this would take. Just too many factors influencing each other to just separate them.

A well-rounded, competent student studies math and science.
People are not born "deficient in mathematical ability." Through hard work and dedication, the subject can be mastered.

I agree that a studie in science might help one's ability to think systematically, but why math?
And as far as abilities go, I think each person has an inclination towards scientific or more abstract fields of expertise. Many friends of mine (and myself too) are artists / designers, and most of us have in common that we lack business and mathematical skills.
