Tech background, but never worked with it.

I'm a plumber now, used to design trusses for houses.

Well, I have a degree in tech. Work in finance. Tech hobbies, programmer second job

So I probably don't fit. Most of my working life was retail though.

Non-tech career but have always been a tech enthusiast.

Professional fundraiser, having worked in non-profit my entire career (and my university degree was in a social sciences field). I wouldn’t call myself technically proficient, but I’m technically savvy - I was an early adopter of the internet as a teen, and have been online in some form or another since the mid-90s. Fuck spez.

Does payroll count as technical? I suppose maybe within our payroll system (Workday), but that's peanuts compared to like actual tech jobs.

I’m an administrator so I work with MS Office but that is about it as far tech. I did dabble a bit in high school and college with some basic computer programming but that was ages ago and things have vastly changed since then.

I am not a geek.

Half I guess? Graduated in a non technical field but I ended up taking a lot of CS and math classes. But now I'm not really doing anything since I've been depressed since college. There's probably a lot of stuff I could do if I could get over the motivation hump.

I'm technical in a broad sense but not in the tech industry. I'm a production engineer putting in production lines for the auto industry.

Non-tech background, currently a undergrad student, but formally trained office worker for secretary and business matters.

Ive worked in kitchens most of my life, now I work in AI and I have my own copy editing business, and go to school for Info Systems and Supply Chain Management. Wasnt tech but im slowly pushing into it because these are skills ill need to get to retire with money in the bank.

I work for an outsourced company representing a large search engine brand. The largest.

I am not on the tech end though. I handle partner relationships. Aka I am the company rep from a tech jugganaut, to people way more tech saavy than me.

I spend my days hoping I don't get caught out.

I've never worked in any tech field, but I've built every computer I've ever owned and have been online since '93, which I suppose counts as far as this thread is concerned.

Is telematican an heatpump-programmer a technical background?

I'm in marketing haha, I joke that I'm my parent's IT person, but that's just about as technical as I get

I don’t have a specific job, I do administrative work, customer service, worked in a few shops… I would love to work in tech but I’m not an expert, just passionate about it! I tried to follow an online course but I need a real teacher and where I live there aren’t many opportunities unless you go to university

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.

Non tech. Designer.

I’m a cinematographer and editor so I spend a lot of time working with tech but very specific stuff. I’m still on reddit for now. At least until Narwhal becomes prohibitive to use. Fuck Twitter and Threads.

Civil Engineering, do a lot of things to keep me interested from design, construction, pm and administrative stuff depending on the phase of the project. And yeah, there is a lot of IT/Programming Guys in Reddit and Lemmy now.
