How Did You Get Into Networking?

When I was in high school, I was into computers since like middle school, maybe even elementary school. And there's this, my father's friend, who's network engineer too, who's been like building one of the first networks in the world. He started to explain me how internet works on a global scale. Being network engineer is like building parts of the internet. This is like insanely great. Like I want to do this. So this is how I kind of slowly became an actual network engineer.
