It seems that I'm not the only exception at age 26 Smilie I started back in `97 (amazingly for me, almost 10 years Smilie )with everything related with system administration and networking/Cisco stuff, later had been sys admin of big hosting company and then QA engineering. During all these years I haven't had the time to learn C / Assembler, instead working with bash, perl , python, tcl/expect, sed/awk, and all these handy tools/languages which helps the system administration. Regards to everyone in this forum, recently it became the place that I visit and post everyday.

Wow. 51-60 only 3%? I was fascinated with ForTran in the sixties, and by the time 64kb Commodores were out (the bleeding edge class of super-computers that sent us to the moon and back) I was destined to be a nerd. 21 years in the navy later, and I'm still tinkering. I've always thought building and wrecking an OS was fun, until i finally got rid of my dos1.0 CoCo in 1999, and bought a new box filled with Win98SE.
EEeeew!! It took me all of about 3 months to get comfy with OSS/linux/unix. And yes, I really did hang on to 64kb RAM and a phone-cradle modem for about 15 years. What the heck, it worked. I just finished building a new box and finally stuffed the old 249 mhz MMX under the bed Maybe i'll hook it to my QCam and use it to watch the squirrels raid the birdfeeder. I tend to keep things for a long time.....-O.

I'm in the 21-30's range.

My first job was of engineering nature, designing IC mask and sorts. But during that time I fell in love with unix/linux stuff and that's where I started to choose a second job, an IT job this time. Now I work in an outsourcing/solutions company, but majority of my tasks are of shell-scripting nature. This time i'm having fun Smilie

Wow! I fell like all of you are all experienced in your own fields. Im only in my 20's, also a girl which i think is very uncommon here and enjoying my work as a Tech Support in our project (Peoplesoft|Oracle and some other IBM applications). Our servers are all in UNIX and from time to time we really need to do some UNIX programming.
I know the BASIC in UNIX (navigation.. Smilie ) which I am forced to learn when I accepted to work on an IT company. Anyhow I enjoyed everything I do in my work and enjoyed time learning UNIX.
I'm glad I joined the forum, Im learning a lot. Smilie

MySQL

I'm 35 this year so I guess I'm over the hill. Male. I work with disaster recovery/business resilience in sweden where I do mainly ESX and Windows stuff but I also dabble in AIX, Linux (prefer Ubuntu), i5/OS, Mac OS X and basically everything I can get my hands on.

I maintain a blog (in swedish) where I cronical my adventures in IT:

Unless you're a swede or inclined to learn it I guess going there won't mean much.
