"Hacking is a job that many people train their entire childhoods and young adulthood for. I can't think of a ton of other fields like that."
- greenyoda 10y agoHow about: - Scientific researchers, including mathematicians (lots of kids who are interested in math or science start studying and experimenting at an early age) - Musicians - Professional athletes - Writers and artists (many start at an early age) - Actors (lots of actors start working professionally as kids) Also, you can certainly become a hacker without devoting your youth to it. It's definitely possible to become a hacker when you're middle aged, and in 5-10 years someone with aptitude can become a very good hacker and have a long career ahead of them. It's much harder to start a career in professional sports in middle age.
