Ask HN: What talents or interests have you discovered later in life?

I was disinterested by art. And especially galleries. It felt like everyone was feigning interest to fit in or appear a certain away to peers.

But at age 27, I found something I enjoyed: "post-graffiti" street art. My interest likely stemmed from how and where I was raised... I think. It's nostalgic. So maybe it's not a feigned interest. I just needed to find something I enjoyed looking at.

Now I make my way to street art festivals and collect work from new street artists. My apartment is full of it. And it's all very inexpensive. The galleries are outside in the public for everyone to enjoy.

In my late 30's, I transitioned into biostatistics and life sciences research. It took me from a purely technical background into one where I spend most of my weekends lazily reading a whitepaper about oncology or disease response to XXX new drug or regimen.

What started as a new job became a career and hobby. I love it.

I started playing tennis in my late 30s. Had never picked up a racket until then.
