I'm a student, gonna start (undergrad) medical school this summer.
Non-tech background, currently a undergrad student, but formally trained office worker for secretary and business matters.
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 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
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.
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.
Research CRO Analyst.
I ain't educated in any field, but ive been fucking with mostly old tech since I was like 9 im now 23.
Beyond that ive got nothing.
I'm associate director at an academic think tank. But I've always been interested in technology and have recently decided that i want to pivot to cybersecurity. I've got a long road ahead of me so here i am!
Not technical, but always interested in technical advances.
