whats your jobs and what else do you peoples do besides playing chess!!

i work in a grocery store

and i make minimum wage!

 

I guess jobs are not important when you play the game.  I'm actually a doctor (radiologist) in a small town, and I guess I'm also a minimum wage earner when compared to first-world jobs. 

Residential counselor in a half way house for people with drug and/or alcohol issues.  I work overnights so I don't have to deal with most of the drama.

Chartered Accountant (or as the Yanks would say, CPA) with clients in the entertainment business, the prison service, and large-scale Physics research establishments. Not yet on minimum wage, but the way pensions have been cocked up here in the UK, shortly to be so.

chess.com dude. :)

I work in a computer lab in a library (only for a couple more weeks though). I hope to be a high school math teacher someday.

I am in the middle of a one year MBA at the Pau Business School here.  At 51 I am probably one of the oldest MBA students in the world!  I worked in a bank in India all my life and when they offered an early retirement option I grabbed it.  I earn a  meagre pension now and survive on my savings. I have a lot of free time now to read, travel, make friends and play chess.

Computer programmer, corporate trainer.

Sheet metal worker for a safe manufacturer. And no, i don't know how to break into them ( frequently asked question when people ask what i do ).

So far we seem a bit skewed toward the IT industry: 

I'm a Web Developer / Programmer

 But first-world prices makes the minimum wage probably quite lower than yours, comparatively...

 

I'm a philosophy student.

  You're absolutely right!  Everything equalizes somehow, sometime.  I guess you're really a philosophy student.

My professors would have a field day with practically every aspect of that argument.  In case you haven't guessed it, I'm a student studying economics and international relations.  Although, I also build barns and riding arenas to pay my way through school. 

I'm a photographer, historian and writer.

I used to be a computer nerd in London but decided I needed a change and took up agriculture in Nigeria. (quite a change...)

starting university next year, studying every math cors i get my hands on. Chess is a nice way to help you focus

I could tell you, but then i'd have to...

Oh... nothing that interesting unfortunately.

IT nerd. I fall in the "Systems Analyst" catch-all.

Maybe one day I'll get asked my opinion by the-onion.com

Paramedic.

I work in a pea factory. We freeze peas.

 

Glad there's only a couple of weeks of the season to go though, utterly sick of looking at (and smelling of) peas.
