I get asked this a lot. Where I got my passion/ interest from? I personally was always into computers. This is what I always wanted to do. And it's my passion but you don't need passion or interest to be very good at what you do. Half of my colleagues and lot of my friends don't have much interest into Computers at all. They just do it because it pays well and they are good at it.

I've met lot of people like this when I was in uni. A lot of people in prestigious universities don't have anything figured out about life most of them are just as aimless and direction less as most of you nighas are but the only difference is they freak levels of discipline.

People grind 14 hours a day to pass a single exam, get into a top tier major like Computer Science and then completely stall out. They didn't choose the field out of interest. They did it because it was the next logical step. My own gf is the perfect example of this. Went to a top school, had zero interest in the field, and just jumped in because it was the default path

When you talk to these people there are no grand goals. No obsession with building, no curiosity, no vision for the future. They were just gone with the wind. A lot of people in those top unis are like this highly competent at executing tasks, but totally passive otherwise. These colleges just trains these people to be world class hoop jumpers.

If you like problem solving are good at math and logic and like constant learning and upskilling and don't get frustrated solving things for long hours you'll naturally find this to be very interesting
