What does everyone here do?

I find this interesting. Some of the experts on these forums don't actually program for a living. To gain such knowledge in programming is an amazing achievement in its own, let alone while having a totally unrelated job.

 

A woman on the beach asked who was reading the SQL programing book on vacation and then emphatically labeled me a freak when I admitted it was mine.

 

LOL!

 

What kind of amusement can you get from an AS400?

 

Don't you know those things cause cancer - you should get rid of it.

 

LOL some more!

...I'm an obstetrician/gynecologist, in practice for 17 years. I'm not sure but I bet that beats Orbitys job in terms of far removed from the programming world...

Actually you and I are both in the medical field, however, you make far more money than I could even wish for at this point in my life ;)

 

I don't even have access to a computer at my work though :(

[corpse]

I'm in the middle - I'm 29 and have been programming in basic since I was 13 :-O I do mostly client/server type database apps using MS stuff (vb, vb.net, access, sql server), and also a pro developing in Cold Fusion.

 

Other things I "do"..

- into making my 69 stang something faster and scarier

- rock climbing - my new obsession.. I guess I like to get high :p

[dynamic_sysop]

Well , I was a Photocopier and Fax engineer for 15 years for Toshiba.

but i have severe health problems and cannot work , so as of last year i am retired through illness.

I only started with vb6 around 18 months ago to help me take my mind off things, then moved on to vb.net and now C# also, now i find that helping out on vbforums gets me through the days ( and obviously my family ).

on the odd ocassions that i'm not sat here, i like to play the guitar and might take up fishing again at some point. but in 3 weeks to the day we will have a couple of new additions to the family , so the pc will sit on the backburner for a while i think :)

[DiverDan]

This is a great thread!!!

 

I'm an Industrial Engineer for about 30 years (I hope there's someone older than me on this forum) with a BSIE and an artist with a MFA. I've been published 1,000s of times and have just started programming in VB about 7 months ago (I know it shows by some of my questions) while waiting for my US grant...more about that later, after its funded (damn the government can be verrrrry slow with funding grants).

[divil]

I'm sorry to hear about your health problems, dynamic_sysop - I had no idea.

[dynamic_sysop]

cheers divil :)

these forums keep me smiling, makes me feel like i can do something if i help others , even if it's only a little bit of help.

[Optikal]

I'm a full-time student, going into my 5th and last year of a comp. sci. degree (I know, I'm slow). I've been a programmer at a major aerospace company for the past 6 years or so, using mostly VB6 but got to do some ASP, some Java, and some Access (ick). In a couple years we'll be moving to .Net here, so me and my co-workers are currently working on getting MS certified with .Net (MCSD).

[alp0001]

I'm curious as to what the folks on these forums actually do for a living. I've been randomly coming to these forums since they were put up and still have no clue as to what the regulars do in real life. :)

Graduate who spends too much time on the internet. ;)

 

Ohhh, you meant for money? Well, as of this post, proactive monitoring over systems (like the AS400) for a fortune 100 company.

[Volte]

I do some ASP work and web design work for my dad... whatever I can get. Pay isn't much, but it certainly beats working for minimum wage at McDonalds.

[John]

I've gone through a bit of a life change since my last post in this thread. I left school after two years and moved far away.

 

I'm living in TN now and employed as a full time programmer.

I'm an Actuary working at a pensions consultantancy. Lasy year I started working part-time and set up my own IT business which I now do for half my week. I use VB(A), Vb.Net, SQL, Java, PHP, ASP/.net.

 

I think having both a regular income job and being self-employed in my hobby I get the best of both worlds!

 

I spend far too much time on forums like this though and used to be mainly found at the sister forum xtreme vb Talk.
