I had BS in Math, MA in Education, 2 years of Ph.D. in Educational Psychology, and I was a math teacher for about 5 years. Around 31 years old I became a "full stack web dev" and have been happy ever since.

I did have background in programming (various WordPress work, some personal learning at PHP, minor projects like a 2D game for myself). I discovered I was able to do it after my wife finished a half-year full-stack bootcamp during which I kept helping / answering all her questions. So I realized I could do it too.
