Almost e eryone I know "fell" into their career in some way. I always wanted to be a professional writer and I am, but I never planned to specialise in higher education, which I now do. That's what happens to most people, I think, you get one role in a particular area (the first writing job I ever had was for a higher education website) and then of course, that's the field you have experience in, so the cycle perpetuates.
Should point out that it turns out I really enjoy writing for a student audience, so I "fell into" the perfect job for me!
