Before ever considering a career in software development, I had about 10 years of experience in theatrical acting and musicals, two of them were played at the same museum. I usually get told when I mention this at an interview that it's weird that I ended up being a developer with that kind of baggage.
To be honest, I didn't have much of a choice. I was scared for my future and wanted a job that paid well, and years of being prescribed on Adderall (Some doctor decided I had ADHD early on in my life) made me spend the majority of my life on computers, isolated from the world, so I was attracted to such an environment.
Now? I still have the skills I acquired over the years and experience in the domain, but I realized later that I didn't need the damn pills to function correctly. If anything they made me a very awkward person socially, which cost me so many jobs.
So, I might have to change career someday, to the dismay of my fiancée. 😂
