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.

    I assume, considering this is the fediverse, that by “technical” you mean IT-related, Silicon Valley type fields.
    While I grew up on computers and know my way around them, and have a bachelor’s degree in biochem, I’m an Operating Engineer.
    That’s the proper title of “union guy that runs heavy construction equipment.” Mostly, I help build or resurface roads.
    I’m one of the guys y’all get irritated with when your local highway is restricted to one lane by a work enclosure, but are thankful for when your new road rides nice.
    It pays really well though, so there’s that. And it is actually very technical, but in a materials/engineering sense.
