Courage.

Try things. I have done web dev (front and backend), low-level OS stuff, game dev, math simulations, teaching, VLSI, etc...

In the end, looks like teaching and game development is what stuck. Took me years to discover this, but I'm happy with it.

If something does not appeal to you after trying it? Don't do it, go and do something else.

Be your own test.
