What do you do as a living?

Eh, thought this might be interesting, to find out what gamers do for a living, what social status do you consider yourself? This might give an idea of what kind of jobs are out there, plus something to post when you're bored.

Don't have to answer if you're uncomfortable stating social status, I'm just wondering because I'm trying to get some stuff before Gears of War 3, and it's expensive as hell, while all my other friends and peers are playing on friggin HD flat screen TVs, with multiple consoles and accessories. Maybe, I'm the only one who doesn't have this luxury ATM, I did once.

I'm currently a student, still figuring out my career path, and am interested in a variety of things to explore as a job opportunity. I was once, upper middle/middle class until I moved out to do my own things and now I consider my self pretty tight on cash. Lol!

As my alter ego, I am a store associate at my local convenience store. Business has been a bit slow though, so my hours haven't been as great, so I couldn't buy games for the last two months or so. *Sadness*

I'll play Deus Ex: Human Revolution eventually...
 
I own a business. Very long road of jobs and college along the way. I was an accountant before I started the business. Sadly I have money for gaming but not a lot of time for actually playing games these days. Everything is a trade off.

when you're a kid you have time and energy, but no money

when you're an adult you have money and energy, but no time

when you retire you have money and time, but no energy

I'm in the Air Force and don't like it one bit, getting out next year.
You don't like the Chair Force!? You guys have it the easiest of any branch in the military and you don't like it? You got all the benefits of being in the military without most of the bullshit that goes with it.
 
Got my bachelors in Information Technology, was lucky enough to land a job in the IT department for a University, not only is it a really great job, Im also able to get my Masters degree for free.
 
I run a punch press in an auto parts factory. I pickup 1700 degree platters of forgings with tongs and then punch them out. It's really fun on a 95 degree day!
