Ask HN: What Counts as a Job in 'Technology'?

2 pointsby q_andrewabout 3 years ago
Calculators are technological devices. Using a calculator to add up cumulative expenses is not (thus, accounting is not viewed as a tech profession). Where is the line?

Job in technology: A IT Call center at large datacenter, where your expected to burn out in right around 6 months.. AKA Thrown to wolves, chaos...<p>Career in technology: Find the mythical programming team, who sincerely cares about you and it undying loyal, pays well and has a goal you could retire happy knowing you actually contributed something to society besides shoving some sort of debt on others.
