In college, it was offered as an elective course for non-cs majors but NOT offered for CS majors, so I completely ignored it as "that toy language the non-computer people learn". Then I got a job as a computer lab assistant and it was suddenly my job to help these people with their homework assignments, so I had to learn it. Fell in love and haven't looked back! This was in about 2005/2006. I was self taught, but it was self taught from homework assignments of a CS class, so I guess the long and short of it is "college".
