Who chose Whom

I wasn't sure what I would become and there is a lot of difference between what I wanted to be and what I am. But I do not complain because its better than what I thought it to be.

God probably had a better script in mind. Today am a software engineer by profession. When I was around 10 years of age, I wanted to become a civil engineer. And then I thought I just wanted to be an engineer. Later when I was doing my tenth std , biology was probably the toughest of subjects I had to encounter and I thought am not gonna choose my major as biology in my higher secondary. But as it turned out to be I got into the biology class. I never wanted to be a doctor then but my parents thought that opting for biology would give me the additional option of writing the entrance test for Medical examinations which I never did. Later when I was quite sure about taking engineering, I thought to myself that I shouldn't take Computer science as my major. But fate had other ideas. Am now a computer science engineer. But I can boast myself as someone who is in a career that I can relate to my studies because many of my friends don't. Even when I was doing my engineering in computer science I was very poor in my programming skills and I knew that a job in this field would require that and I had to work on that. I didn't have a good tutor for that and I thought it wasn't a good idea to spend for a tuition on that , because that would mean I had to burn out some money from my dad's purse, which I didn't wanted to. Then I came across Systech which introduced me to a field called Business Intelligence and where I wouldn't require more of a programming knowledge except for some sql skills which I already had. I know that there are many students out there who still think there is no career outside c,c++,java. I hope one day they too would realize like the way I did. Now am working on a BI tool called Microstrategy and that can write sql on its own making my job much easier. So, here I am , a software engineer without any coding. So what do you think ,did I chose the career or the career chose me?? Who chose whom??
