To confound the stereotype of IT staff being sallow, pasty, weedy geeks who else works in IT?
I work for an investment bank doing server and network support.

I'm not at the moment, but start my job next month once I finish uni. I will be developing various solutions, mainly web based at a small IT firm.

I'm a web developer. Too be honest alot of the people in the industry are your stereotypical nerds, i know of about five people including myself that aren't giant geeks and we're still very geeky, but we can pass for a normal person as well.

I'm an IT Technical Supervisor.. I am in charge of some of the coolest people (all into sports in some way), so i can't complain.. I agree though, get to the developers and programmers and they're freaks with beards...

I work in IT.
I do application admin I guess you'd call it. Look after an application and the servers it runs on etc.
I don't mind it but the place I work is very dull.
Can't find another job somewhere else.

Contract business analyst - and yes the developers do seem to conform to your stereotypical 'haven't seen sunlight' for a few decades image.
