TOP ANSWERS
And an interviewer will typically ask this general-purpose question early in the interview to start the conversation, learn more about your background, and collect some information they can use for future questions.

Example #1
"As a child, I was always interested in technology. I was fascinated by how different devices could communicate with each other and share information. My interest continued throughout my high school and my college years. I knew very early that I wanted to work in this industry, but I was unsure of exactly which role. When I was exposed to network technology, I knew I had discovered the area in which I wanted to work. I focused on networking and took classes related to this technology. I also volunteered while still in school to keep our church's network up and running. This interest, education, and experience all led me to become a network administrator."
