Ask HN: Did you have early career doubts?

I'm not a bad developer, but to be honest, programming was never my passion. I took CS after high-school for pragmatic reasons.I spent 5 years in school, got several degrees including an MSc in Computer Science. And I have been working professionally as a developer / "software engineer" (big air-quotes) for the past 5 years.I'm in my (very) late 20s and I can't imagine doing this for the rest...
