Work in a chemical factory making soap. I'm a supervisor for a night shift. Been working factory since high school.
Sounds fairly technical to me.
I'm far from a technical background. I make storyboards and concepts for ads and animations. Mostly related to graphics and illustration. Sort of a digital art director.
At the same time I do all my work on a tablet + computer and am a huge tech enthusiast.
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 stopped doing the computering until around 2006 or so. At that point I was tired of slapping keys like some kind of psychology experiment bunny slapping the paddle in the cage when the light went off and on and off and on for them to spit up a food pellet.
Just curious, do you not need computers in your day to day and able to mostly avoid using one?
I find it impossible to avoid them. I write a lot, and I write using cursive and typing.
I avoid programming and doing sysadmin tasks. I avoid reading about this new programming language and that new framework.
Otherwise I have become simple luser.
Cursive is something the next gen might only hear about or learn in art/typography school. Gonna be a thing of the old.
My dad's graduation certificate has the most beautiful cursive writing I've even seen whereas mine simply has a fancy print job.
Yeah, but i have found that I write differently if I am handwriting than when I type. So I think that it might stick around for that. And honestly I wrote cursive like a second grader for most of my life. I began practicing cursive for something cheap to do.
And like how learning some other musician's song on guitar ... a writer's cheat is writing out the works of authors one admires is a great habit to allow influence. So don't be quick to let it slip. And working on my cursive got me to start doodling and drawing again even in my middle age.
I'm one of those artists who write like a doctor. It's on my bucket list to practice calligraphy. Probably would get around to that in my own middle age. Based on my research it helps sort out a lot of pathways in the brain too.
I work electrical maintenance in a hospital trust. We cover all sorts though.
I don't have any IT background if you mean that. I have a decent tech savvy and work in an engineering oriented field though.
Non-tech background sort of? Work in games but on the localization end of things.
