Just curious, what do you guys actually do for a living?
Scrolling through comments here, you can tell there’s a huge mix of people, some clearly technical, some more creative, some who sound like they’ve been in the working world for decades, others who feel like students or early in their career.
No particular reason for asking, just genuinely curious what kind of professions make up this community. Feel free to keep it as vague or specific as you’re comfortable with.
Drop your profession below, and if you want, one thing about it people usually don’t expect.
On this account, I’m a live audio technician. I run sound for events like concerts, musicals, dance shows, etc…
I also do a little bit of networking design, installation, and management on the side. Mostly because lots of devices these days are using audio-over-IP and video-over-IP systems like Dante. Nothing super fancy, but I can at least configure VLANs on a managed switch, and have gone through the SysAdmin “locked myself out of the firewall” rite of passage.
Very similar but on the corporate AV side. Design, program, and manage conference systems. Everything from small 4 person huddle spaces up to auditoriums and divisible multi purpose rooms.
Been doing it since everything was analog, now I’m basically a network engineer.
Going over the stats today we manage over 600 endpoints world wide, not bad for a three man team.
