I actually got into Software Engineering this way. I started off working as a Systems Administrator, which required me to script jobs on servers/clients and, eventually, I inherited the entire intranet for the company which forced me to learn PHP and Java. Prior to this, I mostly dabbled in HTML, CSS, etc. since I was a teenager. Since this, however, I have completed my Computer Science degree (while still working) and learn new languages, technologies and methodologies mostly from online documentation and tutorials. I went from being a low-level sysadmin to a senior software engineer to a program manager for software engineering within a span of four years by spending every free moment I had learning, adapting and experimenting with new apps.
