No tech background. I work as a teaching assistant and after-school teacher with grades 1-4 (not exactly, but those are the closest US equivalents). Always loved technology though so I spend as much time as I can teaching my kiddos programming and other nerdy things.
University student. Doing business. Not that tech savvy. I will learn some programing languages because finding a job(a good one) gets harder and harder every year.
Human troubleshooting (I'm a therapist). My dad is an engineer who always built his own PCs and gave me a pretty solid foundation for the software side of things, as well as basic car knowledge. Haven't kept up on that in a while but I'm Tier 1 tech support for my parents (my brother is Tier 2) ๐
I'm a chemical plant operator working for one of the big companies in Germany
Arts admin. But I live and grew up in Silicon Valley; my dad worked in tech although he wasnโt an engineer, so we always had fairly up-to-date tech and Iโm pretty comfortable with it. But when my husband (software engineer) and I watch Linus Tech Tips, most of it goes over my head. I adopted Lemmy during the Reddit blackout before he did (and funny enough, I also switched to Reddit during the Digg fiasco before he did, too).
Attorney here.
I would certainly characterize myself as a tech-enthusiast rather than from a technical background. I have a Chemistry degree and work in a tangentially related field (Brewing industry) though mainly on the sales/retail side rather than production. I don't code but it's certainly something I am interested in. I've set up a Pi-hole on my home network and have a small Plex-Server streaming downloaded media (as I try in vain to disentangle myself from the myriad of streaming services that exist).
Not technically in tech, I'm an oceanographer but work with numerical modeling so ehhhhh
Sort of non-tech. Working as an RF Engineer with my Physics degree
I am civil servent and from non technical background
I work in healthcare but have always been interested in tech, but not professionally.
I work as a city planner. I have an interest in tech and use some programs for work like Adobe suites, sketchup, minor GIS. Currently trying to motivate myself to learn GIS better but it's hard to sit down and start.
I started going to school for programming in my younger years, but life happened and now I'm a diesel technician (and aircraft mechanic in the US Army national guard)
I ain't educated in any field, but ive been fucking with mostly old tech since I was like 9 im now 23.
Beyond that ive got nothing.
