Thanks. Oftentimes could relate, even being a 30-something male. ;-) Coming from a literature background and learned some things on the way, it sometimes feels strange.

But the moment, I was able to contribute to a open-source project I was thrilled.

Similar situation, coming from an education background, some experience in windows administration and currently in an editorial. Being able to make my first "project" that had people (albeit small group) interested felt awesome, regardless of how crude it looks.
