I've never had a tech job. Right now, I don't even have a job. I had always worked in service fields - my last 8 years or so was spent as a supervisor in a pharmacy. Right now, I moved across an ocean and start language/civics classes next week. I guess I'm a student, then?
I read here because I am interested in technology. I like to see where things are headed. I see hope in many of the articles and have strange future views (spouse got me interested in the Singularity movement... 30 years, they say). I have considered starting a business, and can apply much of the things I read.
Also, I find the site interesting. The articles work for me. And I'm not all that scared to read the comments - I don't often lose a little hope for humanity when I read them because the community has a brain :)
