First time: My friend Mike was making a Geocities website for his band. We were ~12 and I got hooked pretty quickly on the magic of building websites.
Despite that I kind of stopped doing it. I took some CS classes and didn't do very well and sort of thought real programming wasn't for me.
Luckily I got motivated again after college by how lame my job prospects seemed and how much I really wanted to make things. I decided I was going to go all in on coding and haven't looked back since.

I have a similar path like you Ben, we might have been related in our previous lives.
Built my first website in Highschool, went to University to study Economics.
At the last year of my studies started learning to code on codecademy.com for fun.
Became an accountant, worked for 2 months, quit that boring job and went all in into coding.
BEST DECISION EVAAAA
Yeah that is so similar to my experience.
