Librarian. Author. Then game programmer.

Now I'm a senior fullstack software developer. And it is honestly fun to chase bugs, no matter if they're my bugs or someone elses. Also I didn't need any university education for this. Went IT trade school, learned programming myself, got job as 1st line phone support, then was promoted to developer when I found and fixed bugs before it reached the devs.

Still would have loved to go the librarian path too. Maybe in the next life.
