I'm a software engineer. At elementary school I discovered programming (a weird local 8bit computer) and spent several years after that being fascinated what can I do with computers, but it never occurred to me that programming can be a profession. Just like people play computer games a lot and never thing they can make money out of it. Until I was about 17-18yr old, I had no idea what I'll do for a living. Then I needed some stable income and it turned out that I can make pretty good money using something I already know.
