Non tech. Designer.

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

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

I do music, photography/videography, strength training, student too, but it started by being into tech (still am), it's helped for doing music/photography greatly.

Non-tech user here. Well I'm tech-minded I think, and tech-savvy. I know enough code to say that I thoroughly dislike PHP and Javascript. But that's about it.

I think "fediverse" and "instances" are terms many non-tech-oriented might find confusing. and off-putting, maybe because they're not immediately intuitive. I'm aware of the concept of instancing but wasn't sure how or where to create an account at first. I made an account on world because I figured I'd probably see more content there? I don't know.

And making a new account for each instance? I'm not entirely sure if that's how it works yet but that's my understanding. It's intimidating, it's daunting. Plus I'm not as tech savvy as a lot of the people here. It's not that it's uninviting, really--quite the opposite, in fact--but I still have this imposter syndrome-like feeling that I'm not supposed to be here.

Idk. That's my take.

Tech background, but never worked with it.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

I'm a CPA and not highly skilled in computer stuff. The fact that I managed to join Lemmy, set up Jerboa and actually participate means that almost anyone can do it

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.

I am a Ph.D in Chemistry, now doing an MBA in finance.

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

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

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.

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 am not a geek.

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