I know this is different for everyone, but when you got your first PC, what motivated you to learn how to use it? And was it autodidactic, or were you already trained in information technology?
For me, it was the future - the only part of the future I could touch and be involved with. I could learn something they didn't teach at school, and that this was a future I wanted to be a part of.
Of course, like many kids, my first choice was to be a fighter pilot, though recent experience with drones tells me I'm more of a bomber pilot, and there's no work for them outside of wartime even if I did get good enough grades to have followed that career choice...
But falling into an IT career on the back of a self taught ability? It honestly felt like the excitement didn't stop... And has maintained from 1982 to the present day.
What's your ab-initio story?
