Corporate librarian with a telecom manufacturer. Others in my gaming group include an IT director, municipal planner, city water department worker and a state bureaucrat.

I make enough so my wife can stay home with the kids and still afford a modest home.

Im a senior advisor on environmental policy for the government; my common law wife is pursuing a graduate degree in physiology and cellular biology.

My gaming group consists of: a chemist; a graduate student in the history and philosophy of science; an industrial engineer; an electrical engineer; and, a video game designer.

We're all rpg nerds and its awesome.
 

I'm a scientist in renewable energy but half the day I do the job as an it system administration in our department.

The most RPG gamer I game with earn more than the tabletop (warhammer 40k) I know. Most get the people who have both hobbies ;-)

We've been discussing the pros and cons of D&D as a hobby for our children and wanted to know how successful players ended up being.
The most importat influence I see from RPG to the people is, that they learn thing about foreign cultures and diferrenz ways in thinking (e.g. the difference between drwarves and elfes).
Short: RPG opens your mind :-)

D&D is a social activity that encourages problem solving, creative thinking, reading, writing, and (basic) mathematics. In my opinion, there are very few down-sides to the game as a hobby for children, teens, and adults.
 



I have a BA in English with a specialization in creative writing and related studies in studio art and kinesiology (tae kwon do).

I'm a barista. I make coffee. I work as a supervisor at the second largest coffeeshop chain in the US. I make very little money, but I'm very good at my job and have a good boss, even if corporate tomfoolery gets a trifle old at times. I'm regretfully realizing that it's time to grow up and am concentrating more on squirrelling my income away and laying the framework to become independant. I still live with my parents, but fortunately not in the basement. I make a killer latte.

My plan after graduating had been to find a job that paid the bills and write on the side until I could afford to just write. I had originally wanted to write for the gaming industry, but with no plans to play 4e, this may change if there's no market for me to write for. For whatever reason, my art skills have been getting more of a workout since graduation than my writing skills. I have a webcomic that's not quite new that I'm hoping will continue to grow and be sucessful and generate a tiny little bit of pocket change here and there.

My group consists of a floor cleaner, an artist who works in a bakery and makes no money with her art as of yet, a chldren's dance instructor, a desk jockey (I'm not sure exactly what he does), a guy that works in a radiology office while he waits on med school (not exactly sure what he does in said office) and a guy who prefers state benefits to working.
