Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
For me it was definately the chemistry set! I soon discovered that you couldnt get into much trouble with it. So off to the library then later to the drug store for the good chemicals... then ordering glassware and having it delivered to the house via Railway Express (remember them?).
It wasnt cool to tell kids in school that you played with a chemistry but I found out that my new best friend also loved chemistry, and he was playing with condensers!!!!!!! I couldnt afford a big condenser but his dad was a doctor and the chemistry set budget was awesome. You can see where this is going.
But it started my love for science (and alcohol?) but I didnt like math until my uncle gave me a "Math Games" book. That got me going, but not nearly as much as my high school Trig. teacher Miss Garcia...WOW
