I had a desire to study it since I was young. I excelled at both Comp Sci and Maths during school[1]. Studied both all the way prior to University and then had to pick one (I didn't want to do a joint degree as I wanted to study one in depth rather than two partially).
A Comp Sci degree was going to be a bigger advantage for the kind of job I was looking for and so that won. The desire to study Maths has always been there, it's just taken a while since leaving University until I was in a position where I had the time/money to study it in my spare time.
[1] First computer was a ZX81 when I was just 5 years' old.
