It's not that my impression is necessarily wrong. It's just wrong in
your case - and your case could be one out of a hundred.

While it is true that many MVPs do have a computer career field background,
there are lots of MVPs who do not. Here are a few MVPs I am personally
acquainted with and what they do/did for a living:

Glen V, automotive service. Rick R, banker. Bert K, firefighter. Noel P,
chemist. Brain S, general construction contractor. Ronnie V, crane
operator. Tom F, teacher. Detlev D, engineer. RC W, CPA. Richard H,
paramedic (after being an MVP for a few years, he went to work in the IT
field). I have met a doctor, a surgical nurse and a 14-year old student who
were MVPs.

These are but a few of the people who do not work as a programmer or have an
IT background. I am in a category called Shell User--you can check out
people's backgrounds (if they listed them) he
