What do you do for a living??
 

This has probably been done before but i would like to know how many of us work in CG and how many are hobbiests.

as for me:--

Job: Warehouse night shift Supervisor

I have never worked in CG and would like too one day

I'm an artist for a video game developer, Warthog Texas.

I've also written a Maya book which should hopefully come out in the next couple months. :)

I'm an IT systems consultant specialising in Asset Management systems...

... I also drink lots of beer :D

really? :p

Well, more than you do/can ... lightweight ;)

I'm a diploma of multimedia student

Hell, I don't even know what I do. My job title is completely unrelated to my work, but just general techie at a Higher Educational establishment covers it. (yay, academic discounts!)

I was someone who worked at a white-shirt, management career for over 20 years, and became disabled due to a degenerative nerve condition similar to Lou Gehrig's disease.

Now I'm discovering my second career, which is as a 3d artist, and loving it. Sometimes the world works in funny ways. I never would have had the courage to leave my job and try something new until forced to.

Hoop

Heh, been working at Eat'n Park Restaurant for a couple of months now. Wouldn't mind switching over to CG but school and work get in the way a lot.

I'm a luthier making guitars & mandolins , (but since it costs me more than I earn on doing that I have to work as biokemist engeneer at a hospital laboratory)

I'm a commercial pilot in Holland and hope 2 use some of my impressions taken in from abroad in CG. ( so far, I'm much better in flying than CG-and my passengers don't mind at all...-)

Hehe,,, nice thread,,, so here is my bit.... at the moment do multimedia training.... somehow i think that will change very fast... and i am in the process of hoping over to CG. Hope i dont screw up...:o

I trade stocks and run a few online business sites.

Fultime artist MA, age 39, sometimes I feel I should get a daytime job, eh just something, eeeh maybe not again . Done theatre scenes as scenographer and scenic painter. I've done film design, assisted few of the bigger ones. Done other art related stuff. Been sick and had all misfortune in the world, oh no not all... knocking my wood...Learned myself 3D for 2 years, bought LW end of April, knew nearly nothing about it, good offer, lol.

I also should drink more beer...

I'm a psychiatric nurse here in the UK. When not at work I'm spending my time with my wife and 2 kids. I squeeze in my hobby when I can :)

@scarabrae: Interesting job. I used to work in mental health myself for a while. Thought it was one of the most rewarding jobs I've ever had.
