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.

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 in marketing haha, I joke that I'm my parent's IT person, but that's just about as technical as I get
I'm a surgical technologist, so, "tech", but not IT.
I’m kinda like a handyman for a medical laboratory. Actually hard to define…from fixing doors to fixing medical equipment
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.
I am civil servent and from non technical background
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).
I'm a chemical plant operator working for one of the big companies in Germany
I work in healthcare but have always been interested in tech, but not professionally.
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 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).
Work in a chemical factory making soap. I'm a supervisor for a night shift. Been working factory since high school.

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 technically in tech, I'm an oceanographer but work with numerical modeling so ehhhhh
