I'm still in the process of getting my CS degree so my path can still definitely change, but as it stands I want to get into Mobile or Database development.

At one point I saw the world of software development as a buffet and I wanted to try everything. I would read articles about new tech, talk to my peers about their passions, watch videos of live-coding; I tried to get a taste of everything to figure out what I liked.

But then I took a class where I had to do a group project. My team wanted to make an Android app and my primary job was to get the DB working...and truthfully that's when it clicked for me. I was coding and reading Stack Overflow and coding and thought to myself, "Oh snap, this stuff is pretty dope".

So for now I'm sticking with it. I've been spending some time on a personal project and I'm taking a DB class right now. So far so good, i.e., I haven't changed my mind...yet.
