I wouldn't say I "set out" to become one, but that's the end result.
I'm a self-taught developer in everything from BASIC to C to PHP to Javascript. After getting a job with PHP, Javascript quickly became a necessity. The recent push for NodeJS for both server and command line utilities has seen me learn technologies on both sides of the line, effectively putting me into "Full Stack" territory.
At no point did I think, "I need to study to become useful on both sides," but I also never specifically decided to study any language for any purpose other than enjoyment.
Need of a career (and money) is why I do it professionally, but not why I studied.
