I've taught individuals that have driven forklifts for decades that converted to computers because of "the money". Regardless of anyone's reason for coming into CS, assuming only does one thing. That same individual is now a fledgling web developer because he found a love for programming amongst the certifications at my community college (the Software and Web Developer courses did not offer any form of certification with its degree, while tracks like Networking did).
Everyone starts with a simple "interest". Computers were the "interest" for me as a teenager that grew in CS. Others can be interested in "computers" but not know where to begin. Only after looking around did some find CS to be that "it" they were looking for.
