[QUOTE="mhacdebhandia, post: 3517416, member: 18832"] One of the reasons I don't look fondly on posts like these - and this one isn't offensive, by any means - is that I think about some of my friends, who are still in university, with whom I game. Several of them work two part-time jobs; the President of SUTEKH coaches the debating team at his old high school and works in a 24-hour cafe, for instance. Others have full-time engineering or science course loads, which with homework and study adds up to a lot more than 40 hours per week's worth of work. Nearly all of them are in relationships, and many of those people live with their boyfriends or girlfriends (or husbands or wives). "Oodles of free time" and "no responsibilities" does not describe many of the students I know, even the Arts students (and I was one myself, so I well remember how light your course load can be at times). There isn't a lot of all-night gaming going on, either - in fact, none at all. As for preparation time, actually, none of the GMs that I play with are even students! They're all graduates who are out in the workforce. [/QUOTE]
