Personally I always had a multitude of intrests.
Physics, Philosophy, Sociology, Antropology, Psychology and History would be my academic tendencies. Writing Books / Poetry, Teaching and / or helping in a kindergarden would be the more social ones. Carpentry, Sculpturing, Musician would be my artsi / crafting choices.
I love programming ;) but than I did not start with that interest and my teachers / professors actually wanted to put me in different programs. Anyhow the only thing I actively pursue on the side is Guitar playing and I am trying to Teach a little.
But yes programming is just 1 thing I like not the only thing, I just happen to be invested in it.
