I reckon at least a few of you here were really into programming computers and were certain you wanted that to be your career from an early age. What was your backup plan if things didn't work out as you intended, what else could you have chosen as your profession?
I started programming halfway through high school, I liked it a lot and I was really certain I would succeed, although I screwed myself in doing so because I failed to acquire any other marketable skills.
Now I'm 3 years out of school, unable to attend college, I've unfortunately strayed from my path and I'm failing to find my way back to it.
So I come to you HNers for advice... What alternatives would you have picked?
