Practical use cases before theory.

I studied computer science and media, but to be honest, it was only a help AFTER I worked in my first dev job for a while.

I'm more of an inductive learner.

Also, I was neither good at math, nor a quick learner. Currently I'm helping my girlfriend with her studies and I have the feeling, learning programming languages and using them for over ten years made understanding math syntax much easier for me.

I think, if I programmed for a few years before studing CS, I'd been much more successful.
