How do you get a job in the Bitcoin/Blockchain industry? I'm 18 and would like a job working in the Bitcoin/Blockchain industry but I wouldn't know where to start.  Economics degree?  Perhaps working for the fin-tech branch of a bank? 

I'm interested to know about how people in this industry got there, what they think about it, and any advice.
Look at the backgrounds of the top Bitcoin core devs.

Here are the top 3:
