    I'm more of a web designer, but I got into design when I was 12. I just went to the library one day and found a book about web site design and decided to read it. I was completely fascinated by the internet and the possibilities it entailed, so I read about html further (in the same book, conveniently) and ended up making websites through Homestead and Geocities.

    Then I got into graphics a bit too, and reading various books really helped.

    Fast forward 7 years, and I'm still designing but it's not something I plan on doing full-time, at least not yet. Currently I'm studying Communication (media) + English, but I do plan on doing some extra design classes in the future.

    School definitely helps, imo.
