How many Lemmy users are non-technical background? (programming.dev)

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 work in a warehouse after quitting my logistics job where I was managing a forklift team. If I ever have to work in an office again I'll just quit and find someplace else to work. I can't stand middle class people who think they're better than the working class just because they have a degree. It's ironic how they kept making the dumbest possible decisions and expected no one with logistical sense to say "that's not actually feasible".

You think someone with a college education could understand that if you take 3 boxes in and only send 2 boxes out, you're eventually going to fill an entire warehouse.

I'm on a much smaller scale and only oversee two mailrooms but when my dept head was looking for a place to use as storage and suggested one afternoon to use the "empty space" in the mailroom, I had to gently explain to him that the empty space was where the hundreds of boxes that we get every morning go.
