How many Lemmy users are non-technical background?

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 psychology student going to graduate school for counseling :) wouldn’t consider myself to have a tech background - tech savvy enough to build my own pc and troubleshoot common tech problems for friends, but not tech savvy enough to understand most open source technology

Hi, me from a decade ago. You can't be sure!

I got out of school and worked various jobs as a counselor, then got roped into IT for about a year and a half to work with facilities who were transitioning from paper records to an electronic system. They wanted a tech-savvy clinician's perspective to configure for the different hospitals. I'm back to counseling again now, but I loved that job.

No formal tech background other than building my gaming PCs or troubleshooting stuff over the years.

that’s super interesting! thanks for sharing - an opportunity like that sounds right up my alley honestly.
