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'm a truck driver though I do have a Master's in maths. Make of that what you will.

How'd you end up in that career?

[-] Carter@feddit.uk 8 points 1 year ago

Turns out a maths Master's isn't specific enough for most jobs I applied for. I eventually got fed up with the ridiculously long application processes and took the easy route.

The only one with math masters getting hired for their knowledge I know was hired by NSA
