I'm a student, ehehe. I have to be careful how much I buy. I'm more of a deal hunter though.

I run nightclubs, which is perfect since I have most of my days free to search for games and also gives me plenty of time to play. I also buy/sell/trade arcade games on the side, but that's mainly to fund only my arcade collecting habit, I don't really push to make a profit for other things, I just keep those extra dollars within that hobby of mine.

I'm kinda like @darko in that part of the enjoyment for me is tracking the games down and finding them at a good deal.
I'M ALWAYS LOOKING TO BUY COMPLETE COPIES OF SEGA CD AND SEGA SATURN GAMES, SO PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE ANY.

Awesome.  I think it's kinda funny that your collection seems to be focused heavily on robots :P

I'm an LTL Truck Driver for Central Transport. Decent job, good hours and good pay. I was a network engineer, and carry a CCIE, but the market for IT people in my area is HORRIBLE. And no, I'm not moving, we like it too much.

My wife is a stay home mom. She and I are both into collecting games, and we are getting our kids into it as well, so it works out great. Its me that has another hobby that is more expensive. I'm a motorcycle junkie, with an obsession for building and racing sportbikes.

I'm a Systems Administrator as well, been doing it for 11 years now.  I probably overdo it on the spending sometimes :P

Well I usually get OU tickets for free because so many of my friends have season tickets (or rather, their families do). I totally understand. I wouldn't pay that much either. Honestly, with my setup at home it's almost better to watch them on TV anyway!
