Hi Niners,
Please take the time to answer this poll. We'd like to know who's out there so we can tailor our content accordingly. It's a simple poll rather than a complicated survey. Quick and easy.
Thank you in advance for your time.

I had a Student option in the original pol, but I forgot to put it back in when I replaced options... So, if you are a full-time student, just select Other and clarify in the post. More work for yours truly, but I made the mistake... I know there are a lot of student Niners. Please identify yourselves!

If we do not do it "for a living" should we state student?
I am not a student for a "living" you see.

Niner since 2004
the premise worries me a tad... tailor the content...
i think i like it untailored..
for example - the design votes are obviously going to be small... that does not = make a channel (x) for designers... *although that would be a funny name..
9 works cause its suppose to be everything.. also - the beatles revolution 9 and plan 9 from outerspace - help the cool image
(there was a reason someone picked 9 out of the other numbers -gretsky fan? get smart fan?)
anyway - 9 is cool. it should be everything (sum of all parts)
im still wondering if diluting 9 brand with 10 and 8 was right way to go .. c9 Students forum? c9 enthusisasts(or whatever 10 is) forum?
* i picture some ..suit going.. "let's get granular with the data - drill down and mine usage scenarios that are inline with our demographic and financial targets better.. "
fire them.

If you are a full-time student then you study for a living. That's fine.
Jamie, don't worry. There is no devious intent here. We just want to know who's out there!
C9 content will not change. We just cover more, not less...

Sorry, I tend to ignore the pinned topics. Some of them have been rather long-lived. -

Doom!
More than one applied to me, but I picked the most relevant thing. I might do IT 5% of the time, and I write everything from deep systems to client GUI apps.

You really need a 'bumb' option, other just doesn't cut it.

I was like: WTF a poll I haven't answered.
I thought I had answered all. Usually I'm not paying attention to the poll box because there are so few...

Charles, It'd be really useful to have a few more options, or possibly have the poll offer checkboxes rather than radio icons (do we still call them that, or am I showing my age?) so we could pick multiple answers.
I imagine many who might want to enter ITPro, i.e. those working for small shops as "IT Manager" or "The IT Guy" want to pick :
- Helpdesk
- Developer (Systems)
- Exchange Admin
- Active Directory Wrangler
- Cleaner of dirty mouse balls
- Cat 5e Cable knitter
- Excel formula debugger
- Developer (UI)
- ... and anything else the clueless PHB who employs you thinks should be in your job description...
Not that I have any unresolved issues from when I used to be "the IT guy" or anything

I'll respond here, since it's a sticky post and therefore more clicky than a poll.
Sr. Applications Developer for Verizon Business. Perhaps you've heard of us
I create things most of you will never be able to see. But I get the bucks; and deep down inside, that's what really counts.
I work mostly on websites; front-ends and code-behinds. Basically everything between the user and SQL; my buddy handles things on the other side. -

That'd be me, I run the transaction level between our mainframes and mid-range SQL clusters. I think of it as the Dark Side.
Also write internal user-friendly applications for indirect interaction with SQL to limit the need for dev staff.
