Re: What is YOUR profession!
Job Title: Systems Programmer
Say What?: Basically I'm a Linux nerd who is the chief sysadmin and in charge of the hardware and OS infrastructure for the software product that my office designs. I've developed our virtual infrastructure and designed a bunch of scripts for making our jobs more efficient. Also, as a former support and implementation engineer, I spend a good bit of my time helping out the support and implementation folks with anything they need help with.
In Short: I get paid to play with computers.
Like I told my boss last week, every morning I drive to work content and happy to do my job. I enjoy what I do. There are a LOT of people out there who can't say the same. I feel blessed!!!!
