[TheFPSisDead]

Off topic, and i'm just curious....

What do you guys do to support your gaming habit?

I'm a legal assistant for the Department of Labor & Industry in Pennsylvania.

Feel free to share!

 

[Blunderboy]

I work in an office for a non profit organisation promoting Mathematics. Before you ask, I know very little about Mathematics. It beats the hell out of my previous jobs in retail/security/bars.

 

[Fayathon]

Nothing right now, I'm getting my certifications to get a job in computers. I'm looking for something temporary though, as I seem to be running out of money.

 

[Queen Michael]

I don't have a job, but I'm trying to get one.

 

[Colour Scientist]

I'm currently doing my Masters and working in a shoe shop part-time to pay for it. I'm not exactly the most wealthy person in the world right now but I get by. Planning to go into post-graduate research for a couple of years then on to my PhD. I'm still 20 though so there's no rush really. As long as I have enough money to get me by I'm not too pushed to settle into a career just yet.

 

[Thaluikhain]

Unemployed, been looking for a job for the last year, getting qualifications that appear to have been useless for the last few years before that.

 

[SovietPanda]

Im a chef in a fairly large hotel, years of piss poor apprentice wages has left me with a bit of a back catologue of games i missed. But i'm slowly working through that and picking up plenty of new releases now that im on a ridiculous wage

Mainly English and Food/Health classes.

Would like to be an unemployed billionaire one day, but it'll never happen. I dont like work enough.

'Grats on doing your masters at 20.

I'm a student, currently undergrad Ba. Arts(Edu)/Ba. Sci.(HPE). I plan on going on to an MD or MBBS/MSBS in two years and my partner and I are considering whether or not I'll go into Defence Medicine or civilian Medicine.

I coach a high school basketball team through Summer (in southern Hemisphere, so now) and work catering jobs and retail over Christmas while the school kids are on holiday.
Outside of that I rely on scholarships and student allowance from the government.

I work in the digital-media department of a magazine publishing company. What do I do there? Well, bit of everything. Right now I'm assisting in making an iPad application for a car magazine.

 

[Rawne1980]

Work from home. My brother in law is an accountant and started his own business so I work with him.

Pays me incredibly well and I get to do it at home.

My wife is a nurse who works incredibly long and unsociable hours so I couldn't go out to work if I wanted to. We have kids to think about and she loves her job too much to cut back or give up.

So here I am at home.

 

[Cowabungaa]

I'm back in school, taking my third and final shot at getting a college degree after a two-year break due to personal/mental issues.

I only fear that, at the moment, some of those issues might return, or haven't been fixed yet like I thought they were.

I also got a little part-time job (barely got time for it these days) as a supermarket assistant.

 

[krychek57]

IT Nerd,

I keep a local call center up and running for all of Microsoft's partner channel needs >_>

 

[Mr.Squishy]

Studying psychology, hoping to take a degree. Not a lot of time and energy for much else, though, and the job market here is hard as hell to get into.

 

[Gorog2]

I'm a medical research scientist for CHW

 

[Amphoteric]

In final year of Secondary School. Probably going to do something Like Pharmacy for a course at university.

 

[Zyntoxic]

I'm a Tax worker, I send out tax depbt payement demands, then I recieve calls from people who recieved the demands and listen while they yell out their anger at me, then the I tell them why they are in debt and then I go home.

[chstens]

Define "adult". I'm 20, studying for a bachelor in IT (with a focus on game design) and I work at a movie rental shop.

 

[Grouchy Imp_v1legacy]

I'm a senior data analyst and office manager for a logistics consultancy company.

And yes, the job is exactly as glamorous as it sounds!

Teacher, mostly P.E, but I can substitute a few courses if needed.
