I became passable at software development and could then create stuff I like.

I didn't realize just how creatively challenging and empowering software development is when I started studying engineering, I knew I was ok at math and just wanted to get a job. I got the skills to do stuff I was passionate about because of it, and I do all the things I'm passionate about off the clock.
