D&Ders: Medical Doctors, Lawyers, Accountants.

[Masquerade]

A nursing student is the closest I've come to any of the above. I've had the pleasure of playing D&D with more artists than scientists.

 

[DrunkonDuty]

Does "geek" count as a profession? Cos if so...

 

[Rechan]

None of the above.

However, I have gamed with two teachers (A math professor and a high school physics teacher), and I am pursuing my doctorate in Psychology.

 

[Henry]

Screw those -- I've gamed with Physicists before.

Seriously, I've gamed literally with everyone from Janitors to Doctors, from School Teachers to Teenage Thugs, and the only thing that I can see a shared pattern in is the desire for hanging out with cool people and sharing an interest in the fantastic or adventurous vicariism.

Do insurance salesmen count for anything?

Anyone who's ever gamed with Gary Gygax has gamed with a former Cobbler and former Insurance Salesman. It's amazing how many walks of life get started.

 

[Fifth Element]

None of the above. I was once in a group with three therapists though.

Are you sure that wasn't an intervention?

 

[Angel Tarragon]

Military, Engineers, Lab rats, IT support.

Lab Rats?!

 

[frankthedm]

Nope, none of those. Now...

Carpenters
Part time job hoppers
Machine operators
Welders
Architects
Computer Techs

 

[Baron Opal]

All three.

My current group plus me:

Chef, Graphic Designer, Special Ed. Teacher, IT pro, IT pro, DMV manager, psychologist, IT pro, Teacher angling for Principal, kid, pharmacist.

Two docs, two receint grads and a bunch of teachers and ITs.

 

[exile]

I'm a surgeon; a guy in the last group I gamed with is an accountant.

You might want to include other broad professions with equal prestige: programmers & engineers.
