Comment on How did you decide what you generally wanted to do with your life?

through k-12 i wanted to be a pilot because my grandfather flew a plane as a hobby.
in college, i bounced between pilot, music composition, auto mechanics, musical theatre.
dropped out of college and did hairnet & nametag jobs for a while and asked my uncle to get me a gig as an associate PA for movies (but he wouldnt even return my call).
a friend of mine worked for a video game company and said he’d hire me to be on the phones because i just needed work, so i decided to do that for a year or two…
i worked at that company for 14 years moving from customer service to QA to software engineering. now working as a software engineer for a boring non-game company.
its not necessarily what i want to do, but it pays the bills and i dont mind being bored with it for another 23ish years until i retire.
