Non tech. Designer.

I'm currently an attorney but in another life I worked help desk in the military.

I am not a geek.

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.

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

I’m a master’s candidate in the life sciences and public health. I can’t code or anything, but I regularly troubleshoot my own computer problems, and I’ve built a couple PCs for gaming. The most technical my field gets in this sense is the use of R or SPSS for statistical analysis.

Non-tech! I'm a buyer for a large wholesaler and distributor.

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.

social sciences (anthro) background but have always been a bit on the tech savvy side and had tech support jobs

Work for a class 1 railroad. I’m about as tech savvy as your grandma.

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’m kinda like a handyman for a medical laboratory. Actually hard to define…from fixing doors to fixing medical equipment

I'm a surgical technologist, so, "tech", but not IT.

I'm a chemical plant operator working for one of the big companies in Germany

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.

Attorney here.

I'm a data analyst that's started to do more data science stuff (learning SQL/python) but not sure I would quite class myself as technical yet.

Sort of non-tech. Working as an RF Engineer with my Physics degree

Not technical, but always interested in technical advances.

Not in a technical here - I've worked on jets and cars, have done retail management and now program management in the public sector. Though my dad was an electronic engineer in silicon valley in the '70s and '80s so our family adopted technology early and I learned to code very young, but tech stuff has remained a hobby rather than profession.

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 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).

Arts admin. But I live and grew up in Silicon Valley; my dad worked in tech although he wasn’t an engineer, so we always had fairly up-to-date tech and I’m 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).

Not technically in tech, I'm an oceanographer but work with numerical modeling so ehhhhh
