I studied chemical engineering in university, but I realized it wasn't what I hoped.
What I hoped: sitting at a desk, drawing schematics, crunching numbers, designing chemical plants, coming up with smart ideas, etc.
What it actually was: walking around a chemical plant or factory and managing plant operators (they knew way more than I did).
It turns out programming is exactly what I hoped from chemical engineering. I love solving problems from the comfort of a desk.
Math was always my favorite subject in school, and it seems programming is a type of applied maths.
