daftprophet Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I started a thread like this on the other site, but I am glad to see it here. I really like learning more about other members. I am a research technologist and primarily work with people who have disabling conditions. I like my position and it's broadened my skill set and introduced me to further career possibilities. I do a lot of data management which is fun for me. I don't think it gets too much into the way of my gaming...my side jobs do though. I also work at my local yoga studio and I am a personal trainer at a YMCA. They each have their perks, but take time away from my gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memnoch Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I'm not sure I could say anything takes out my gaming time, as playing games remains more of a hobby or occupation. I'm a sales rep, so spend a majority of time away from home; but on office days I also double up as a resident CB bum. I have recently been playing a bit more, but that is mainly because there are 2 memettes on their way, so I know that my wife will soon be telling me where I can stick my controllers and have me doing grown up stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkthur Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I'm currently finishing my thesis in Electric Engeneering, and also wok from 2:00 pm to 5:30 pm. So I play mostly at nights, if I don't have much to do in the mornings I try to play but I also try to catch up on series, movies and comics. So my gaming time is quite restricted to nigths. I do work on saturdays until 12:00 pm wich is a pain, so Sundays are the days I use to hang out, hunt trophies and chill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_MOUSEY Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Im a stack emissions tester, i generally get weekends off, sometimes i could be home for the evening or staying out in hotels, as of this moment im currently in Clonmel, Ireland and wont be back home, Manchester,Uk until 8pm friday :-(, however i may put the console on sometimes if im not tired otherwise its tv or lovefilm until weekend if im not busy. Sometimes its a blessing as i can be gaming for hours Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hore Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Being a McDonald's crew member definitely does get in the way of my gaming time, since I'm also attending school. This leaves me with a mere few hours on weekends to game, and only several hours a week to game. It's amazing that I can still even platinum games at all.

deadlygunner18 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Studying to be law enforcement. Academics always get in the way of gaming but im still able to have at least 2 hours a day for gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomato Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 English teacher in Thailand so ya it got in the way of gaming alright but I return home next month so yay and sort of small no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltySoph Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I'm studying to be a personal trainer, I'm almost qualified after I've finished my work experience, but I know it's going to affect my gaming time especially if I want to be successful in the industry. Even tho studying and working to pay for my course was stressful I still managed to spare a few hours everyday to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavenclawHobbit Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Lol, wow so many cool jobs. I am a disabled USMC infantry veteran, so as long as my disabilities aren't bad that day, I have the entire day/week/year to game. It can be very boring at times, but with all these good games on plus, I am content with my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueFireReaper Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Just being a Junior in high school sucks right now, as I'm getting pounded with homework (most gets done at lunch) and having to do a research paper AND my junior theme this term. Though the volunteer work in the spring and summer and Cross-country in the fall evens it out a bit. Through all of this, I normally turn the games on at night (around 7-8, 6 if I'm lucky).

Midgar777 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I'm a web designer. I usually have plenty of time during the evenings to game...and if not I tend to make time by staying up late just to fit some remote play vita / ps4 into the day.

Marccap Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I work shifts such as nights, earlies and lates as I work in the emergency services so I play the playstation at all different times so I probably benefit as the wife is at work etc. The only downside is if I play in the morning in the UK its quiet on the MP side of things as in the US its mainly night time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrBloodmoney Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I design oil rigs - it involves a lot of hours onshore and off, which of course limits my gaming time, but trips to rigs are always a good time to catch up on vita games at night, as there is no wifi or distractions, just me, a bunk and my vita!

Mcbeanstr Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) I recently graduated from University in Financial Management and am now job searching. So I have plenty of time to play games for now but that may change soon (hopefully) Edited February 12, 2014 by Mcbeanstr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountFlame Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I work at Culver's during the winter months and I work for wolf paving during the warmer months. Summer is actually the killer since I work from 6 to sometimes 9 at night. The winter is when I catch up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo77 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Jan-Dec (year round): I am the building manager for a high-rise apartment building. 50-60hrs a week. Which is nice on days I have very little to deal with I just pop into my suite and game till I get a call. April 1 - Oct 31 (seasonal): Head course irrigator at a rural golf course. I do all the watering, seeding, caretaking and course changes like digging new sand traps or re-sodding the greens, keeping pumps and equip (including golf carts) in working order. 40-50hrs a week. So from April 1 - Oct 31 every year I end up putting in 90-110hrs a week! Needless to say, my gaming goes down to next to nothing during the summer, pretty much only on weekends.

merciful84 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I'm an "IT Specialist" and no, gaming does not get in the way of my work (fixed) #priorities You should be worried if gaming gets in the way of your occupation, not the other way around...

dontwaketheKIDS Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 CFO at a non-profit org. But it's not the occupation that gets in the way of my gaming time, it's the wife and kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExHaseo Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I'm a college student. I'm currently in a Phlebotomy program so I can get a job in my field while I finish going to school to be a Lab Technician. It only limits me about as much as a full time job.

MorrisonCamaro Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Currently going to college full time, while having a little part time gig at the Sonic Drive-In during the weekends. Ironically, I have more time to play during the weekdays then in the weekends (considering I get 8-10 hr shifts there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
