Similar in my case. I'm beginning to like math just now because after years of software engineering I'm seeing commonalities in math and software engineering. Math feels like "creating a software systems for numbers" where I also am the compiler at the same time. From an intellectual perspective (different than my engineering perspective), I'd label mathematics as quantitative philosophy. I like philosophy too.
