   Well, I'm a computer programmer for a large university.  Only one person I work with was familiar at all with prog, and she didn't realize that it had a name (she liked Gentle Giant, of all things, years ago).

It seems I've turned lots of friends on to prog, but rarely ever find people who are already into it.  The big exception, obviously, is when I've attended NearFest.  But in day to day life, I almost never meet people who are familiar with it.

Poll Question: What do prog lovers do for a living?

	In my circle of friends and business relations nobody knows what prog is(maybe DT) but when i'm on PA it seems i'm not alone on my island. Just wondering, what do you all do for a living? Edited by krimson62 - April 28 2007 at 09:09
