Figured I'd dredge this up after about a year just for grins.  ;D  Always interesting to see how much has changed in a year.

I went from a full-time student to working as the Assistant Chief Engineer at an independent television station. It does a halfway decent job at funding my various hobbies but has a bad habit of consuming the majority of my time (part of the reason why I've not been around for six months).

I haven't been around as long as this thread.
I'm an Engineer for the State of Arkansas. I work for the Highway Dept. It pays the bills and gives me a little scratch to buy video games.

I work in a gamestore called Game Mania in Belgium, you could say its a bit the same as a Gamestop or a Game store from the UK.

In my free time I also write news/reviews for a gamesite called 4gamers.be :-)  so I sometimes get stuff that way aswell.

I work at a pet store called Pet Valu and the works at Tim Horton. We are both full time Brock University students though so that eats a lot of our funds >_>

I have to resort to selling my body to buy games ... sometimes it takes a lot of sales to get the game I want however. :(

I'm guessing that the wife's not very supportive of this...unless...is she the one doing the buying/does she get a discount :P

Alternatively...I've heard that you can just sell your blood (and...umm..."Other" various bodily fluids) for the quick cash  :o

By day I'm a Global Sourcing Manager, focused mostly on finished goods for a video security company. Cameras, video recorders, industrial PC's, etc.
At night I teach Marketing and Logistics at a local University.

I work in a textiles factory in the town I live in.  It's shit pay but since I'm not the type to really get out and do much of anything I got some free cash once and a while.
