If you weren't always a developer as a profession, what did you used to do?

Why did you change?

Looking back, do you have regrets, or do you wish you'd changed earlier in your career?

I've always worked with computers, though I went through IT support / network admin / hardware engineer roles before settling on software development. Sometimes I wish I'd done dev work from the get-go - I was a hobbyist programmer - but other times I'm grateful for having a bit more wide-ranging experience as I get older.

And I'm curious about you!
