I'll try do one better - I started out as a Chartered Accountant, and specialised as a tax consultant :)
I decided that doing something I liked, but didn't love, wasn't how I wanted to spend my life. I'd heard great things about Notes so decided it would be a good entry point into the 'developer' world. In '98 I landed a job with Lotus Consulting South Africa as an 'analyst', but started coding straight away. One year, a horror project, a couple of thousand lines of LS, and Steve McConnell's 'Code Complete' later, I was a full-blown, cocky Notes developer, and haven't looked back (I try not to, the code I wrote then was awful :)
