Does anyone else feel that they basically lucked into a high paying career because their interests randomly aligned with scarcity and a rapidly growing field, and that it's nowhere near as hard, or as societally valuable as what teachers, medical professionals and care-givers do?

I started on C64 as well, though just playing games. I wasn't aware at the time programming them was an option but gaming largely took me down this path, though i don't think i would have if the money wasnt at least OK.

This is just the cool thing I've wanted to do since I was 10. I don't think I understood just how much I could make until freshman year of college when CS201 talked about average salaries based on education level.

I remember getting up at 6:30AM on Saturday mornings to write silly little games on my C128. Back before any education on logic, my slot machine game with sprites had a wall of IF / AND / OR for all of the winning combinations. Funny now, but damn I brute-forced stuff at 10.
