I had the choice of going into a massive amount of debt to keep going or change careers, i had started learning software development as a hobby and I really enjoyed it, so I didn't hesitate.

I had never even considered software engineering before I started it as a hobby because I grew up in Southern Illinois with race horses, i knew nothing about the industry other than I liked computers and I started learning it and realized I was pretty good at it.
