What do we do for jobs?

[Evilseed]

Hello,

When I'm boxing 5 toons (I'm on hunters now after doing shamans) I am often asked what I do for a living. Compared to a typical setup to run 1x WoW, multiboxing often requires more financial dedication to follow through on. I think it would be interesting to see how many people here are in the USMIL, are business entrepreneurs, lawyers, doctors, college students, kids in basements, programmers, etc.

What do you do for a living?

I am an entrepreneur in general and currently the CEO of a content media company which focuses on the online media content side of the Internet. For WoW, you may have has seen one of my projects in Wowhead.com (I was the former CEO until we sold). I also have some developments just around the corner (Any programmers out there? Hit me up!).

Could be interesting to see!

I am a lab technician for a major avionics company. I do anything from mechanical tests/work to small programming tasks and electrical test design.

I'm the plant opperator for a Redi-Mix Concrete Company. I sit in front of 6 monitors and a console and push buttons all day long. Really boring work but allows me to chat in IRC and play WoW on my laptop all day.

Probably not as interesting as most replies will be but I work with Credit Cards & Chargebacks mostly. Not particularly exciting(hence my trolling the forums all day ;p) but hey it's a living and nice non-laborious computer work :p

Here's hoping Zin'll actually give us a LITTLE insight into what he does specifically ;p Bastard's too reclusive for his own good

Compared to a typical setup to run 1x WoW, multiboxing often requires more financial dedication to follow through on.

One of the comments that I see in threads critical of multi-boxing, is when someone says that people should feel sorry for multi-boxers, because "they spend $75 a month." And I always think-- "why would you feel sorry for someone who considers $75 a month an acceptable sum to spend on a hobby?"

I should show them my cable bill, heh...
