For me I just really wanted to switch careers and all I thought is that I want to do something with computers. I think I landed on programming because of a few reasons
all these things combined are what pulled me in
as far as motivation and dreams.... I am already working on a language app for my son, and have a ton of ideas for future programs! There is just an endless amount of room for development, it is SO exciting!! I would love to start a company with the main goal of education in mind!
Good question Marco!
