I think most all of us here on Lemmy are people with technical background. Most of my professional contacts remained using Reddit, Twitter and even excited when Threads launched.

If you are non-tech background, please comment and share what you do for life.

If you have tech background, upvote this to help promote this post so that we can find more non-tech users on Lemmy.

Work in a chemical factory making soap. I'm a supervisor for a night shift. Been working factory since high school.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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) 😂

Non-tech background sort of? Work in games but on the localization end of things.

I work in healthcare but have always been interested in tech, but not professionally.
