I was just wondering what everyone on here does for a living. Who all works with computers as a career and/or has a degree in computers (IT, computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, etc.)? Also, what does everyone do as a part of their job. I am currently studying to become an electrical engineer and may do some sort of code writing/reading position when I graduate.
 
I'm only 13, but I'm studying server management, networking and administration courses. Along with C++ pogramming, MMO server managament and game design.

When I leave school, I hope to achieve my Network+, Server+ and A+ degrees from CompTIA.

I hope to either become a networking programmer for various games (mainly MMO's), or a network administrator, and setting up my own dedicated server company, along with game servers etc.
 
I work in the Service & Support Dept. of a company that imports, manufactures & sells Medical Equipment.

I onsite & workshop repair, maintain, install, commision of the equipment we sell and also phone support.
Equipment ranges from ECGs, Defibrilators, spirometers, Pulsed Light & Laser Hair Removal & Pigmented lesion removal, up to Hemodynamic Patient Monitoring systems & Patient Digital Imaging & Database Storage Systems.


Finished School 1999.
Cert.III - Electrotechnology Instrumentation & Control (Trade).

I really have to think of something cool to say when i die.

I read a quote by walter de la mare, on his death bed he said
"Too late for fruit, too soon for flowers."

about us

Hey guys, just been always curious on what your guys jobs are, how old, where you live ect.. go ahead and share if you dont care.

Personaly i wanna go to school to become a nanotechnition or work on making hydrogen a standard fuel in cars, havent decided yet but i still have a few years to decide :P . I also live in a suburb of chicago.

cromewell, you say you live in canada, wut part? just curious cuz all of my moms family lives their and i go their alot (family in thunder bay and toronto)
 
First name Sam
I live near Hartville Ohio Lots of cows :P
I work at a KFC/Taco Bell combo store, I've been there for 3 years :( I need a new job.
I've have my A+ and Net+ certifications (I got them in high school)
 
Well, I'll continue going with this thread as opposed to the previous thread since this one's a little more recent...

Anyway, I actually work in retail for OfficeMax here in Michigan and have graduated from college with a BA in Social Studies Composite for Secondary Education (teaching high school Social Studies). But, due to a career change in college, I am going back to school in the fall after a year off for a College Student Administration degree in College Student Affairs (Master's level). Basically, this will allow me to be Director of Student Activities (what I really want to do), and also further on Dean of Housing, Dean of Students and maybe one day President of a College/University (UofM??? :))

As far as computers go, I had a few basic classes on programming (Java and C++) in college. Other than that, I worked on the college website for the Residential Life department while I was there and everything that I know has pretty much been from messing with computers, reading about them, or by talking with other computer geeks like myself :). So, computers is definitely more of a hobby for me, but I multiple times came very close to becoming a Graphical Engineer. It's always been my dream to work at ILM since I was a little kid. But, I love working with people and interacting with others from various different places, part of the reason why I also absolutely love being involved in this forum: get to help people and interact with people from all over the world! :)

Sorry for the long post, but I'm in a good mood, and tend to be a little exuberant at times! ;)
