When I was in middle school I'd make little static sites in HTML/JS/CSS just for fun. The immediate feedback was good motivation for me. I never considered working in software When I was at uni, I initially started as a business major and wanted to do finance or something. In hindsight I really didn't know what the hell I wanted to do, so I just did that because it seemed like a safe choice. I really didn't like it, just because most of the actual stuff we were learning was either accounting, how to use excel, or "how to create your personal brand" (yuck) After one year of those classes I looked at my schedule, saw all of the classes were in business hell, and was really unhappy about. I wanted to switch majors but didn't really have an idea. I considered CS but held back because two people I knew through mutual friends (and weren't very fond of) were in the major I picked CS and then realized I actually liked writing programs to solve problems, but just needed some sort of structured guidance like what a university offers in a 4 year degree. It was pretty easy ngl, but I wish the actual job was less annoying boilerplate stuff and more writing code
