Similar but different - the basic start was always wanting to be a scientist/chemist.
When I was very very young my elder brother got a small chemistry set: used it up in about half an hour . . . I was hooked.
Then, of course, in the movies it was always the scientist who saved the world from the evil alien invaders and monsters. I wanted to be in on that. The rest is in my 'Simpatico' post in this thread.
Thus was it written - thus was it done.

A classmate said - "Hey, they got computers here!" ... I never looked back.

Didn't even have a TV at home when I was a kid. So when I saw a computer for the first time, I was so fascinated by it (12-year-old kid).
Did well in school so had the choice to choose from various professional courses which included Computer Science. Didn't think twice. Haven't looked back since.
