My computer experience going into high school was playing commander keen on a 486.

I went to college to get a diploma in computer animation.

I am now a web programmer.

People change.

my point is that I've gone from knowing almost nothing about computers to being a programmer since I started high school. If I had learned about what I wanted to learn at 8 years old, I'd be digging up dinosaur bones in Alberta.
