What do you do for a living?

[O'Callaghan]

True, a degree is not a guarantee, but it is a hunting license and it can be a help in retaining a job once you have it.

In my salad days I was first an electronics technician, then an electronics engineer, and then a software engineer. The first of my programs that worked properly I wrote in 1964, so I was a software engineer before that name was coined. Since I retired in 1994 I have written no code but a few BASH scripts, so I am now hopelessly behind the state of the art except for one fact: because FORTRAN will never die, we who can write FORTRAN in any language will never cease to be functional.

Does it count if it won't run/compile?, LOL!
