I actually got started on the other end of the equation. I was working as a business development manager for an ecommerce shop when the president walked in to my office and said, "Hey - go find out about this 'affiliate marketing' thing"... So, a month later we launched an affiliate program, haha. Once I started to see what my affiliates were up to, I realized that there was an entire world of opportunities that I hadn't ever really noticed. I wish someone had mentioned the phrase "affiliate marketing" to me years earlier!
Anyways. Fortunately, my background is as a web developer (programmer / db engineer, etc), so affiliate marketing was a good fit. I'm a coder though... Lots of successful affiliate marketers barely know HTML, but they're able to put things together smartly to build marketing campaigns.
