This is a question that I get asked pretty often, so I thought I'd write it down to make it easier to share. I've also asked some of my peers for their story as well, since they all have unique backgrounds and this is definitely an interesting role with many paths to get to it.
I wanted to share my story so that others who want to get into this field, or those who do not have technical backgrounds, can understand that a path exists.
For starters, I don't have an engineering or computer science background. I went to a small state school in New York (SUNY Oneonta) and studied communications. After I graduated in 2009, I went back to NYIT, where I began my college career, and completed the first year of my MBA in Management of Information Systems. It wasn't until the tail-end of college that I even discovered you could study computers.
I tried doing one year of computer science when I started my MBA, but as a graduate student I had to take math courses designed for freshmen, and I couldn't pass any of those. (I had a solid 65 average in Math in high school). There goes that dream. At the same time, the economy collapsed, and nobody was hiring. I realized it wasn't the best time to be in school, and my student loan debt was growing to nearly $40k. Most of that came from graduate school, which I never finished.

If you go to school, be sure that this is what you want to study. That student loan debt will stick with you for the rest of your life. That's a big investment for something you are thinking: "Maybe I want to do this?"
