Tech Related Careers

[ScarletRider]

Hello Everyone!

 

I was interested in finding out what different members of the Linus Tech Tips community do for a living. So tell me, what is it that you do? Why do you like it and what brought you to enjoy Linus Tech Tips?

 

I'm a professional college student, working retail part time on the side. I'm studying Digital Media with an emphasis on gaming and animation right now, though because of my passion for tech, computers and advancing technology, I'm considering changing my major to computer and electrical engineering. I like Linus Tech Tips because learning about different components and how they work interests me, and it's an easy and enjoyable way to be introduced to something I know little about rather than looking it up and studying it or reading about it myself. (which of course I do as well most of the time)

I'm a web developer and professionally poor for a living. 

(Life has been rough lately. Things take priority.)

Currently I work in my schools preforming arts center running lighting and sound for band concerts and such, Pays minimum wage, work once-twice a week every other week or so...

[JoaoPRSousa]

I'm in the 11th grade.

When I go to Uni I want to go to a course that includes video editing and such.

And then, apply to work at the Linus Media Group.

What is it that you do? Vehicle Remarketing and Pre Contract Lease vehicles

 

Why do you like it  I dont, I absolutely hate it

 

What brought you to enjoy Linus Tech Tips? - Initially Linus' videos figured I would check the forum and here I am, I live here now

My job is not tech related.

I process shipments for my employer through couriers such as FedEx, UPS, and the USPS.

PC building and tinkering is just something I do because I find it fun.

Mostly librarianship and archiving with a heavy IT flavor...

 

My current projects involve webdesign, programming, systems design, and, network administration....

 

I'm still studying, but I sideline as technician...

Who makes gpus, cups and stuff? I mean what kind of engineers?

[PC-NOOB]

I'm in high school but usually I'm a freelance web developer. 

I teach at a local web design school.

Well it depends. Electrical and computer engineers are both involved in the process. It's not necessarily about what kind because it's less of a title and more of just a general skill set.

 

No shame in being a hobbyist, or an enthusiast. I'm interested in a tech related career and many hobbyists probably have more knowledge of computers than I do.

I wonder if mechatronic engineers can make them.

It's very possible. Though since those components don't consist of moving parts, the mechanical side of mechatronics wouldn't necessarily be used. If you wanted to expand your scope of what you can do though, rather than be limited to computers, mechatronics could be a really cool way to do that.

I think most of the people on this forum are too young to have jobs..
