Since I was quite young. My sister read Greek mythology to me for bedtime stories and she handed of several of her books when she was done with them when she was in college. When I finally went to college, I was well beyond my 20s, I got a degree in cultural anthropology. I was thinking of archaeology but I found culture and language more interesting and less physically demanding.
But I am a political animal too so I got another degree in political science. An odd duck but I found that most of my faculty friends all agreed that I was a true eclectic and I decided that it was something to be embraced. My interests are vast and I had a hard time deciding what to study, being older upon entry was any more helpful than being a teen right out of high school.
Now I'm retired, so I do a lot of armchair work these days.
