I'm really curious how this turns out and interested to compare people interested in discussing Vintage to society at large.

I'm doing a PhD in computational neuroscience focusing on robot-assisted stroke rehabilitation.  That puts me somewhere between science and engineering.

Logistics Analyst.

My company specializes in critical inventory logistics, such as the delivery of medical supplies or replacement parts for fulfilment of service contracts. Basically, getting stuff to whatever place you needed it, and quickly. In many cases, we also handle the inventory management of those supplies.

Edit: I checked off Business and Other. In retrospect, I probably should have just left it as Business alone.

I'm also studying English Philology...sometimes.

From my academic perspective, straight business.  Someone with an MBA might completely disagree, though.

I majored in Math and Computer Science, but I write place and route software for computer chips so what I do is more electrical engineering.

I put engineering.

Personally, I think Engineering might be a bit too broad.  I would like to see a Computer Science/Programmer category or break Engineer into two -- hardware or software.

Vintage is a lovely format, it's too bad so few people can play because the supply of power is so small.

Chess really changed when they decided to stop making Queens and Bishops.  I'm just glad I got my copies before the prices went crazy.

Education bucket needed?

Is checking Engineering and IT unacceptable?  If I start breaking things down too much, it makes it harder to see trends.  But the present categories are just thrown together...

I put myself down for artistic and was quite surprised to see so many others clicked that as well.  I feel violated. =|
