Who here doesn't have a job?

I need a job...

I'm a self-employed defense attorney, also working in youth protection and sometimes matrimonial matters.

I'm currently working as the Producer/Director of an MMORPG called "Final Fantasy XIV".

<--gives Koryu a ball of yarn

That answer was brilliant :D

I've been on disability since september, they can't let me go back to my old job (microbiology tech, testing meat and stuff) until they find out what went wrong with my eye.... ^^;

So I have all kinds of time! I should go find those frogs and butterflies mentioned earlier~

Wait. Can't you live off full time as graphic designer?

It's just that in MMOs there is a certain crowd of players that are not bots/RMTs etc, but are on mostly all day, every day. I see them in my linkshells. I see them everywhere.

So i am curious.

Work Six Days a Week... :( I do play alot though, Mehbe its to fill in that enormous void left in my life after my wife left me for that Mexican butcher... :D or just cuz i like to play and its fun.

Full time college, until next semester anyway, THEN going part time.

Full time PHP developer, I also go to college. Not much time to play XIV, sadly.

Ditto ; ;

When I began my career with MMO's I was unemployed, part time college student. I played 24/7.

Surprisinly, I am now a Network Admin. for one of the largest hotel/lodging corporations in the world. Can't even find time to play :/

Albeit, IT sector jobs allow us to forums/play at work, given your workload is minimal.

Full-time software engineer. Can't play at work, but every other waking hour I can it seems hahaha.

I'm a diplomat, and I travel a lot, so I'm planning to buy a gaming laptop as soon as 2.0 hits :P

lol nice. I've got a couple Soft Eng.'s and a couple Databasers who work for me that I've had to disable their GPU's and send me warnings via XenDesk when they activate any unauthorized programs lol. Glad to see you are in the honest group of Software Engineers

i was excited to see all the replies. o_o To be more specific on my own account, i ride my moterbike around, take pictures of things, make 'art' movies, write music and sing in a band (so i used the word retirement 'somewhat' jokingly, although 'somewhat' not i guess). ..and then there's FFXIV, anime, food, friends etc.

A little "Fists of Fire" goes a long way

Haven't worked since Aug '10 so have tons of time for XIV. Started a hobby making candles so periodically I do craft shows and take care of orders.

well i am self employed now. journeyman carpenter by trade, but got sick of working 90+ hours a week(i was a shutdown worker one week was 7 days a week 16 hour shifts normally and the next week you would get off on sunday)

i much prefer the working for myself doing custom woodwork. i guess you can say i work when i want and take off when i want.

If you can get any IT Experience, albeit even if it is home networking.

A+ certitications. And ANY Cisco experience (Working towards a CCNA is +++++ when I look at hiring someone)

Every company (almost) needs an IT person on staff just as an insurance policy. Honestly, its mostly fixing printers, doing preventive maintenence on all employee consoles, basic PC/MAC troubleshooting, etc. Alot of Port Switching/Patching, etc.

the dark blue can(16oz/473ml). i have one in front of me now lol

i loved doing it because i got to do alot of traveling because i was what they call a "shutdown chaser". basically when a industrial plant needs maintenance or a new project added it will shut down for up to 30 days(usually 2 weeks). during that 30 days you run overlapping 16 hour shifts. we show up the last 4 hours of the other shift and they work the last 4 hours of ours to keep the projects running smoothly 24 hours a day. if the shutdown was scheduled for 14 days and we didn't complete it on time our company actually got fined for each day we were late(some jobs were massive fines)

the only problem was since it was industrial work it could be anywhere from cape canaveral florida to pheonix arizona so i stayed in hotels 10+ months a year. i got married to a lifelong friend and we had 2 kids so i needed to be closer to home to be with them instead of being gone year round. that's why i went into custom woodwork because i can do almost anything i want when it comes to woodwork. i figure as long as i am home and can pay my bills i have no need to go back to working for someone else.

edit: since we have been married for so long(13 years) it also helped we saved my income and sent her to school. she has her national license for a pharmacy tech so her income is a nice buffer so i don't need to get back on the road again.

Haha I remember hearing an owl one day and going "What the fu...?" looked around and up in the tree was this owl. I changed my camera angle around and snapped some pictures of it.

Was in the military till I completed my service 10 months ago. Now I'm a full-time student again.
