Always wondering - what do we nerds work as ?


SoC Verification Engineer for ARM things in Verilog. Had previously done a lot of chip layout. Back in school to learn some RTL design, PCB design, and either analog design/layout stuff or DSP stuff. Need to remember some of that huge amount of math I forgot from not using it in the past 15 years.

Tech application admin at a small but rapidly expanding telco company (glass fibre). Due to the size of our IT dept my work ranges from implementing and fixing applications to fixing mice and printers to putting servers in racks.

I'm training to be an IT worker at an on-shoring firm in Pierre, SD.  If I pass all the requirements of the training, I'll have a job in July.  I'm not holding my breath though, I'm a little better at C++ than at Java.

I Work in the Ecommerce department of Waitrose (A UK Supermarket). To be honest I did expect more geeky jobs from everybody! Cool to see such a varied selection though!

A lot of computer / technical people here....which I suppose isn't surprising.

What is surprising is that we aren't seeing a lot of graphics designers, professional artists, and video production people who would have got into the career via the Amiga.

Hi,

Wow!!

What a job?

How did you get a job like that?

Penetration testing,

Must be interesting. How many do you check for vulnerability and assessment?

I want a job like that, I could check for penetration all day long.

I am neuroscientist and run a company (http://www.hethis.de) that does lab equipment (life sciences). Currently the company is still pretty small and most products are still in development.

Hi,

I am an electronics tech, and fixes all kinds of wonderful things in electronics, mostly work on satellite junk, got to keep communications and video going don't you know, what would you all do without your video. Wanted to be an IT, but then the only thing you can get a job with is with Micro Sloth, but then again if it wasn't for Micro sloths horrible OS, and them hiring people to keep it going, I guess there would be millions or billions out of jobs, especially in India.

But my main job is that I have a clinic for psychotherapy and hypnosis.


Wow, you should offer your services to forum members (:  

There can be a few crazy treads here from time to time, hey hypnosis might work on converting ppl to the Amiga cause (: (:  

haha we dont need hypnosis to know the Amiga platform will never die!  (:
