  • Hi,

    A bit difficult question to answer, you can develop skills. You've posted a message on this forum, so you have some computer skill. My skills have developed from obsessional interests mainly, I got in to computers just as the micro-computer as it was known then (desktop pc now) was starting to grow after the hobbyist phase.

    I guess if you have a competitve nature, that can help to develop skills. I was very uninterested in education, but did reasonably well to pass my exams. I never really related to it. I think about the only subject I enjoyed, was A level computer science, but that was my interest as well. 

    I was good at maths, but not really interested in it; That was until, I got in to 3D graphics, and researched all the maths related to that, it really is a thing of beauty; modelling how light interacts with physical objects. That lead on to an interest in fractals, combing the two, it is amazing how you can model things with practically endless detail.
