I'm currently an attorney but in another life I worked help desk in the military.
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. Designer.
I'm a surgical technologist, so, "tech", but not IT.
Non-tech career but have always been a tech enthusiast.
I'm a programmer but I don't think there is a high bar of entry here, maybe with so many options to choose from maybe
Tech background, but never worked with it.
I'm a plumber now, used to design trusses for houses.
Does payroll count as technical? I suppose maybe within our payroll system (Workday), but that's peanuts compared to like actual tech jobs.
Iβm kinda like a handyman for a medical laboratory. Actually hard to defineβ¦from fixing doors to fixing medical equipment
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.
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.
Iβm 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.
