I started as a lowly diesel mech in the USCG, then came out and worked on tractors/equipment, working my way through community college, got an AS in equipment tech - which I didn't really need (they didn't teach me much I didn't already know), but I took a course in electronics which intrigued me; it seemed to me (and still does) that everybody and their dogs thinks they are a mech (even when it comes to tearing down a crawler or a combine) and I didn't want to be outside in weather like today for the rest of my life repairing some equipment in the mud and snow for flat rate having some shop/service manager tell me I was too slow.
I knew I could grasp electronics and many other people could not. So I went another two years and got an AS degree in EE, which got my foot in the door of hi-tech. It took another 5 years but that got my foot in the door of software and I saw where the money was - software not hardware, so I worked my way into writing software and been there for 30 years. Now I am a lead/senior engineer.
I don't have any real high math background - you don't really need it for most software engineering, especially business apps. I hired a math major last year and he had some good tech skills, but was difficult with people and is no longer on the team - which is too bad, we could have used his skills this year, but not at the cost of his personality.
Mostly I have taught myself what I know of software engineering. It takes some time, aptitude and a lot of perseverance, but I know more than one skilled s/w engineer who taught themselves.
The thing I really like, besides the problem solving, is always learning new things and improving my skills/knowledge.
