That's a great story. I also started writing websites and hosting them on free hosting places back in the early 2000's! I remember being a big fan of a game series and I wanted to make a site with it. After high school I wanted to go to college but didn't want to work in computers because that's all I knew and I didn't want to work in what I considered a hobby!

In the end I ended up going for programming in 2008, found a quality assurance job in 2012 and applied and got the job for a programmer position in 2015 and that's where i've been since. It's funny to think how much I enjoy what I do now when i doubted myself back then. Its nice to find someone who had a similar experience!
