Indeed, all indications pointed, if anything, to a somewhat different career path: “My preference lay more with zoology and botany, but I was not at all fond of school [...].” However, his aversion was directed toward his teachers and, later, his instructors, rather than the subjects he was expected to learn. Even during his school years, Robert Bosch had a thirst for knowledge and had a wide range of interests.
