I'm a senior data analyst and office manager for a logistics consultancy company.
And yes, the job is exactly as glamorous as it sounds!
Huh, weird...
I'm a Senior Data Analyst for a large UK charity, working and living in London =p. Doesn't pay as well as a private job would, but I like the feeling that I'm working towards something other then making someone above me some money, and I recommend working in charity sector to anyone. Also, the people are really laid back and I get to spend unfair amounts of time online. Like now for instance!
Also, I'm surprised that so many of you are unemployed... In my experience adult gamers tend to do pretty well for themselves, because lets be honest lads, most of us were geeks in school!
Some of us were not computer or math or science geeks, some of us liked Shakespeare, and history, and politics, and philosophy.
For people like me on that end of the spectrum, what we are geeky in has little to no job opportunities outside academia (to which there are a tonne of phds and very few spots to fill) or education.
By grade 12 in High School I was taking only classes of that sort: English, Banned Literature, World Politics, World History, Philosophy, and the like.
I'm trying to get my undergraduate for philosophy and history double major, and I was hoping to use that to get into Law School as both of those require analysis of issues and truth-conditions, as well as a tonne of reading and writing. However, I picked a University that is too hard for me and I was too stubborn to accept that. Now I'm in 4th year and I have 2.9 GPA (out of 4, and my school has no "bonus" marks for an A+ grade because they think that's ridiculous. some school they will give you a 4.33 if you go over 95% in a class). Law School requires 3.5 at bare minimum, but you really need a 3.7.
So yeah... I'm going to be a teacher it seems.
