  • Lucked into it, kinda.

    I wanted to be an industrial designer, but there are only a few schools that offer that degree in my country and I didn’t get in, because I didn’t have the illustration skills.

    My fallback (a close 2nd) was to go into engineering, so that’s what I initially went to university for. But I struggled with the calculus.
    During my time in engineering, we had to take a programming class, and I was really good at it (compared to my engineering classmates). So I switched my major from engineering to computer science.

    I graduated with my degree in computer science and I’ve been a coder ever since (last 15 years or so)
