Cool! We have the technology. Will you build it better than it was before? Better, stronger, faster?

I put engineer, because I didn't see student. Actually though, I'm a high school student very passionately into engineering, intending to become an engineer. So for interest-based demographics my vote is valid, but if you're looking at the poll to see what groups have time to spend playing games, it's not.

I'm somewhat miffed that you didn't think to add "Bartender" to the list. Surely such a hallowed profession as mine deserves to not be lumped in with "Service Industry" :D

All you guys calling yourselves engineers... you might want to be careful when doing so to prospective clients. Make sure you have the legal right to actually call yourself an "engineer." In the USA, some states have funny laws about these things.
(I'm mostly talking to the engineers of the software persuasion, because in some states, anyone who calls themselves a software engineer is automatically in violation of the law. :) ) |

I'm a licenced financial advisor so I had to take 'wage slave' since it was the only thing that fit.
In the time I've been playing Sr I've been student, bill collector (thug?) and on one evening bodyguard(police?). |

I find the list of choices to be fairly telling.
Your options are either one of a few specific professions, student, teacher, or someone who hates their life and their job. There are actually people out there that work in a corporation or company that aren't engineers or IT, but actually do enjoy their job.... I'm not a wage-slave ala Office Space. But I work in a cube most of the time, and work for a corporation. So I dunno how to vote. My job has a signficant impact on the functioning of a business, and it is, fairly often, enjoyable. Good enough? |

I don't think wageslave necesarily requires you to hate your job, and being an engineer or military doesn't mean you don't hate it. Some of us like being cogs in the machine Despair.com

I was a deputy in a small town for a good 6 years, even got to the point of running the jail for a bit before I got sick of it.
Now I work at a glass shop, which is pretty awesome, and hope to one day do some art proffesionally. |

Used to be a network engineer in the wonderful world of wageslavery.
I gave it all up to run around in an ambulance in New Jersey and NYC for some reason I still haven't quite figured out... |

Hell, I quit a promising career in the History and Philosophy of Science to do the same thing. :P Good choice, IMO.
