I have always been fascinated with the technical, for many reasons. For 
one, I've been using computers since I was 5 or so. It didn't take me long 
to realize I knew more than my parents about computers, and
to realize I knew more than my parents about these machines. This gave me 
a certain power... maybe that's why I love computers. Those who are in the 
know have the power. I still feel a sense of pride when I hack out a good 
snatch of code. 

I was well on my way to CS or ECE, but then I was asked to do sound for a 
school theatre production, and that was it. I got hooked into the theatre. 
It allowed me to do technical work, but in addition to the pride I get 
when I do a good design, I also get the rush of a live production. Though 
I know I am probably be dirt poor for a long time after I graduate, I'm 
not concerned. Ht said it well with poor+happy > rich+unhappy.
