Working in Tech is heavy job, nothing easy in lifting that heavy paycheck every month 
Edit: Just a joke so nobody takes it seriously… and no, I don’t work in Taiwan tech industry…
Wow that’s a fairly good spread of different professions and backgrounds.
Surprising number of business people too.
They do actually work in the tech industry in Taiwan. It’s the ones based on California you want to be wary of. $10,000 a month and free Starbucks, pointless Slack meetings all day, and a disgust of Capitalism.
Also a joke. Probably.
I personally never liked the term the tech industry, it’s too loose. I worked with cutting edge technology all my working life but nobody in my industry would ever say we work in tech haha.
Then again I don’t like the term Creator either , shoot me. 
No stay at home parents here on forumosa ?
I refuse to be pigeon holed an office lackey so general layabout it is.
Also I don’t actually work in an office.
Eat lightning and crap thunder.
I don’t find that surprising at all. Many of the foreigners I know in Taiwan own / run a business. Most of them do not post on this site.
That’s because my boss pays me in dollar coins! I have to wheelbarrow it onto the MRT.
Today I learned that, as a materials scientist / engineer, I am in “Deep Tech”. I’ve never heard this term before, but I am going to start using it everywhere.
I think I am in Deep Shit.
I’m off the deep end.
I asked my friend Robocop to summarise what he feels about this.
This voting breakdown provides insights into the demographics and professional backgrounds of the group represented. Here are some key observations:
- Entrepreneurial Spirit: A significant number of respondents (12 votes) identify as business owners, indicating a strong entrepreneurial presence. This suggests a community that values independence and self-employment.
- Education Focus: With another 12 votes for teachers, education plays a crucial role in this group. This might imply a prioritization of knowledge and skills development.
- Technical and Professional Skills: Engineers and general office employees each received 9 votes, showing a balance between technical and administrative roles. This diversity suggests a mix of analytical and organizational skills within the group.
- Age and Experience: The presence of 7 retired individuals indicates a blend of experience and wisdom. Their insights could be invaluable in discussions, particularly related to past experiences and mentorship.
- Small Business Management: The presence of business managers and IT professionals (5 votes each) points to a mix of leadership and technical expertise, highlighting the importance of both management skills and technological literacy.
- Limited Representation in Creative Fields: The absence of votes for artists, musicians, and nurses suggests a gap in creative and healthcare professions, which may indicate that these fields are not well represented in this group or that the interests lean more towards business and education.
- Diverse Backgrounds: The variety in roles, from farmers to government employees, shows a diverse community with varied interests and expertise, which can foster rich discussions and collaborations.
- Underrepresentation of Certain Roles: The very low votes for roles like doctor, investor, and manual worker highlight that specific professional backgrounds are less prevalent in this group, which could influence the topics of interest and discussions held.
Overall, this group appears to be predominantly composed of professionals from education, business, and engineering sectors, indicating a community likely focused on entrepreneurship, professional development, and education, while lacking representation from creative and healthcare fields.
