This question is often used to probe for information about your related work history, hobbies, and technical interest. Think about what initially prompted you to go into this field - a family member, a unique opportunity to work as an apprentice, or perhaps a side job that you learned out of necessity while working in another field.
"I've always had a technical interest, whether it was working on electronics at home or repairing my own cars. I got into this field as part of another job I was working on where it was necessary for me to learn some of the skills of a boilermaker. I met several influential people who were willing to help me get an apprenticeship, and I later moved on to working as a contractor for a local company. I find that this field gives me an opportunity to combine my technical interests as well as my desire to be working with my hands."
