Just interested in what the rest of this wargaming community does for a living.
Personally I'm an injured Marine thats currently going to college full time (majoring in Information Systems, was majoring in Professional Pilot but its too expensive and it hurts for me to use rudder pedals so I'm going to heal up before flying again).
Today's the first day of classes for me, can't wait to meet some new freshman ladies around the campus

I'm a software development manager for one of the largest software companies in the world. I can safely say that everyone here has used code that I've written without even realizing it
My division writes file viewers and translators. We sell components to other companies, who then put these tools into their products. We're on over 15 different operating systems, including several mobile platforms, and embedded in many internet apps that people use every day without thinking about it.
Personally, I still do some coding, and manage a team of engineers that support the core of our system. I've been with this division for 13 years now.

I've just started working as a Commercial Manager for one of the major Construction groups in the UK.
I got made redundant earlier on in the year, from another major Construction company, but was fortunately planning to move to my current employer already (saw the writing on the wall last year!). So I was lucky that it worked out really well, it was touch and go for a few months over the summer.
