Einstein went into science because he was German and that was "the thing" at the time, kinda like people going into "Business Management". It was a popular profession in Germany and he was suited to it.

Answer

Einstein first got interested in science at age 5 when his father, Hermann Einstein, showed him a pocket compass. It had a lasting impact on the boy, and convinced him that there was "something deemply hidden behind things" (--Einstein). Einstein then got interested in math because a family friend, Max Talmud, showed him a few math textbooks. Also, Einstein got a job in 1903 at the Bern Patent Office, where he got to see many inventions. This "scientifically interesting" job, along with his interest in math and science, set him on the path to his scientific career.
