Pick any or add your own:

1. I am a Professional Typist. Typing is the primary and main job. A novelist or text journalist might also fit here.
2. I am in a Profession that requires typing very directly but it's not the main requirement: Programming, Telecommunications, Online Tech Support etc.
3. Other job that requires typing but in a lesser extend: Engineer, Scientist without heavy paper writing, Laywer that doesn't type all own work, Clerk, etc.
4. I rarely type but I use computing a lot: Gaming, Simulations, CAD, Graphics, Animation, 3D Design, etc.
5. Other/Fit your own description
6. I rarely use a keyboard/computer at all. I like keyboards as a hobby.
7. I've no idea how to touch type or even use a keyboard but I plan to do it in the future
8. I used to be fitting in another category but I'm now in another one. As a result I'm stuck with keyboards
9. ???
10. Topre VS MX VS The buckling of springs

9. I am unemployed right now, but was a grad student who did a ton of typing, have worked in data entry and analysis, and am looking for work in more typing heavy fields.

2 - I'm a programmer, but nowadays I mainly do the maintenance of legacy code (which include a lot of refactoring and rewriting)

2 + 1 for me. Though really 2 involves more typing than 1.

I work primarily with the database side of the house, so I'm often churning out several thousand queries a day.

A combination of 3 and 4.

Engineering and Auto cad with some extra persuasive documentation.

3 / 4

Why?

Coumbaya · « **Reply #27 on:** Wed, 19 June 2013, 15:12:23 »

I'd say between 2 and 3.
At work I'm typing a lot, I take breaks on Paint Shop Pro but I still use the keyboard for ctrlC ctrlV and brush sizes. Writing documents ans replying to emails is my main job.
At home I'm on IRC, imageboards, or gaming, so it's still a lot of keyboard-action

That is a flight management system (FMS). Start saving your pennies though ...they're north of $20k on the used market. If you want it to be functional you'll have to get the jet it goes with. Might get a break there at around $25 million for an older one with a lot of time on the engines.

A mix between 2, 3 and 4. Currently a Physics undergraduate, started the year doing some programming work, moved into the lab and now I'm on holiday..

2 unless im stuck writing up documentation for workflows for a few days ever so often then i consider saying 1.

(it is shocking to some that I actually write up documentation because of the way i write on forums)

2 - Writing code all day long that helps other programmers find kick ass jobs
