Computer science? Never.
I did web development freelancing in high school but didn't want to be a "desk jockey" the rest of my life. So I studied Physics in college but gave up because I wasn't good enough at it and programming continued to pay well.
(In retrospect it appears that most hard science fields pay much worse than programming. Which feels unfair but is what it is. So I lucked out being not good enough at math/physics.)
I've programmed for work for the last decade. But I wouldn't call what I do computer science.
