How many of you guys have a job?

[TomManiac]

I'm interested in how many of you have a fulltime job.
When I read this forum I get the impression that a lot of you guys are either unimployed (no offence meant), still go to school or don't have a girlfriend/wife.
I'm happy to get in 2 hours of PS after work every second/third day without getting shit from my girlfriend for not spending time with her!

When I see people talking about being online 7+ hours a day, my first thought is DamnLuckyBastard.
My second thought is PoorWeirdoWithoutAnyOtherLifeOutsideOfPS.
And my final thought is WhyTheHellDidntThisGameExistWhenIWasAStudentAndICo uldHavePlayedPS7+HoursADayToo?????

OK, enough self-pity for now.
I think I'll just take half a day off from work to get in some additional hours of PlanetSide :D

Full time job, married, 2 kids. I pretty much play 3-4 days each week for 2-3 hours after everybody else has gone to bed (starting at 9 or so).

When I had the time I was rotting my brain playing MUDs or Meridian 59 while in college, usually putting in as much time as the worst of 'em.

A technician at uni overheard me and a class m8 talking about halo and said
"How do you guy find the time to play all these games? I always see you here working."

I haven't laughed so much in my life :lol: :rofl:

[Jagd]

How many unemployed gamers would be playing a game that you have to pay for monthly??

Full-time job, live with my girlfriend, and I play maybe 6-8 hours a week (most of it on Sundays when she works!) I also post here during downtime at work. If only my work PC had a decent video card.... ;)

[Deadlock]

College student.... art student so lots of studio time. Live with my girlfriend... she hates planetside. And i just dont sleep so thats when i play

[Happy lil Elf]

Merry chrismas elf! :(

Women.... :rolleyes:Long story but actually it's what I was hoping for. I even managed to get her to break it off with me. Had I been the one to end the relationship it probably wouldn't have been pretty since as you may have noticed I have a tendancy to be rather blunt. Hopefully this way she's spared at least some of the sadness that inevitably comes at the end of any lengthy relationship.

[LiberationComma]

full time University, part time military medic, part time girlfriend, part time drinking, part time planetside

Nah, I'm Scottish, and live in Scotland :p
It'd be a long way for me to commute :D

dont sleep :D

heh, you got caught by them did you? Those fuckers are always trying to get me to join up to the TA (Army Reservers i think you call it america. Otherwise known as weekend soldiers) They once knocked on my door at 10pm while I was playing planetside.

"hang on guys somone's at the door, afk a sec"
"ok mate"
*comes back* "Holy shit, recruiters at this time of night!"

My team mates didn't believe me I'm sure :D Me being pretty drunk didnt help though :S
I could hardly believe it myself.

[Gigabein]

I bet you tell chicks you're a pilot.... ;)

An enlisted pilot? The training for those ended in 1942, when they switched to officers. A chick would have to be pretty dumb to buy that! ... Oh wait. :D

[kreeten]

I drive a shuttle bus from a hotel in Vancouver, (sweet tips) and i'm an armored car guard. ( always have ny gauss with me when I feel my 9mm will fail! )

[infinite loop]

Now if only your girlfriend would play with you while you played planetside. ;)

Lol, I was waiting for that one. Took awhile, c'mon guys!

[ultraviolet]

I am a full-time university student with a part-time job as a front desk manager. I'm also a full-time and long-term girlfriend.

[Manitou]

I am in the last year of my 24 years in the military (in one form or fashion) at the end of which I plan on retiring and donning the classic Old Fart hat with the button that says "RETIRED" on it. After that I am pursuing a full time career in gaming. :lol:

Actually I may be pursuing a Master's degree if I can get myself to do it. Mrs. Mani says I have to find another job as well after I retire. Hmmm. "Hi! Welcome to Wal-Mart!" ;)

[Squeeky]

I am a student full time. I don't have a girlfriend :tear:. And i babysit on the side, hoping to get a job soon.

[SDM]

I don't have a girlfriend :tear:. And i babysit on the side, hoping to get a job soon.
No offence, but I wouldn't let you anywhere near my children:)

[ultraviolet]

Oh, I forgot my other job! I'm Squeeky's mistress, which is another of my full-time functions.

[Squeeky]

No offence, but I wouldn't let you anywhere near my children:)

Really, my online persona and my real life persona is SO different it's unbelievable. Ask Chelle, i'm really a calm, cool, collective guy.

[ultraviolet]

Unless you're around me. All that cool, calm collection goes out the window! ;)

On a more serious note, Squeeky would definitely be a good babysitter. He's a great guy. :love:

[Corrosion]

In High School and looking for a job right now.

[Spider]

I work oddjobs for my uncle... I mostly go out all day and do shit... hang with friends etc. I get a pension from my godfather that's all I need.

Don't have a girlfriend either but when I do have one I post alot less... wich is good for the community! :lol:

[Vis Armata]

VP/part owner of a consulting firm (small though), sitting for the Oregon Bar exam in Feb, married, no kids.

edit: To play a game with a fee, you need either (1) a job, or (2) someone to give you cash. So...I'm betting most of us that actually play work.

[Lonehunter]

Bike mechanic

Edit: Bicycle mechanic, and trust me theres a lot more to bike mechanics than most poeple think

[Kuraltai]

Fullltime .. Telecommunicator .. my work number is 911. :p
Widowed, currently no significant other. Play PS a couple hours a day usually, more on my off days. Slow time at work is when I usually catch up on the forums.

[Veteran]

I work at a job that lets me play on the internet for five hours a night. Not work, mind you. Play. Video poker, PlanetSide, NetHack, you name it. The pay sucks, but it keeps me sane.

I'm probably one of the few people in the world who can get bored on the internet.

[ultraviolet]

I don't know about that... My manager job is a work-study job. Great for the resume, but also extremely boring. I have actually found times where I really don't have anything to do online and actually do my homework!
