Do you work in IT?

[Paul_Sengupta]

Ok, the question was asked in another thread. Do you work in IT or a computer/communications sort of job?

[Gerard Clarke]

Invalid question. No one works in IT.

There is likely to be a large percentage who do given that this is accessible via computer.
How will you account for those who can't be ar£ed to vote? I would speculate that the majority of those will not work in IT as those who do appear keen to sex up it's importance.

Need to define 'IT related'. I use a PC for hours every day, but not an IT person, except to those who know less about than I do. (No one on this forum obviously, except perhaps Rob S). (:-)

[Paul_Sengupta]

Jim, I mean for its own ends, programming, telecommunications, that sort of thing, not just use a computer as a tool to do things non-IT related.

If you have to ask a question like this then the answer is probably no

At least we don't have to wear wigs!

I am (nearly not any more) a web designer but i dont see that as IT. Its working on a computer, yes but i dont give a monkeys about how it works, just that the programmes I use do work.

I would also say that a graphic designer isnt in IT although now almost everything they do is on a computer.

[JoeC]

Anyone who uses the phrase "power cycle" works in IT. If you don't then you're not in.

[Morley]

What about "parse"?

[Morley]

"algorithm"

I dont use any. I'm a fu'in' numpty inni'?

[Gerard Clarke]

May we please have a 400 page thread on whether it is "numpty" or "numptie"?

[Boing_737]

If you read BOFH on The Register and can identify with it, then you work in IT......

[Morley]

I went for IT in Claridge's with Kate and Wills. 1 lols 1 duz.

I create maps and models, all on computers, using lots of SQL type stuff, I even look after the client/server version of our software, simply because I sat next to the dude who set it up then left 10 years ago.

I'd like to think I don't work in IT, it's not my expertise, but to practice what I'm good at I need to know more about IT the average punter.

So I really don't know.
