Conincidence mostly. I didn't actively search for what I'm doing now (10% hardware 90% software from very lowlevel microcontrollers/fpga to highlevel business apps). Or maybe is was just destined to be: I wouldn't really want to be doing something else (well, except for quitting jobs all together and go live far away and be self-sufficient, but that's something with a long learning curve).

Wanted to go for biology first but hearing what it would take to really get into cutting edge research I changed my mind and went for what seemed, given my hobbies and complete lack of interest for other non-tech fields,the most logical: electronics engineering. Thesis project was picked truly by coincidence (basically the last one left because we were late, lol) but the company offered me a job because I fit in pretty well. Still working there now parttime (did work in different departments as well in the meantime, now I'm back where it started) and parttime for a startup but the job is similar.
