Let's see ...

I was in the Military (conscripted). The glorious Light Infantry, the only real soldiering :twirl:.
When an accident nearly ripped a limb of (one of mine, of course), i was sent to the paperpushers in the defense Ministry. Gave me a good glance at the burocraptic mind.
[deleted a really interesting piece about life in the Ministry, because i am not really sure if my non-disclosure agreement with those guys all those years ago isn't still in effect ^^]

I was a student, physics and chemistry (and way to much math).
I was a student, computer science and economics (and way to much math).

I was a teacher, a lifeguard, a wage-slave, a freelancer.

I just vote student ;).

And you guys can keep the "real soldiering". ;)

I'm a university student (microbiology/genetics/zoology).

If you count my 10 months of conscript army time as a "job" I used to be a MBT gunner.

Just talking about the people here becoming more dangerous. You could think f my husband as "PI." I guess. He looked into insurance fraud and stuff like that. I think Snow Fox is infamous here.

Shadowrun dosen't have players and gamemasters.

It has criminals-in-training and devious masterminds.


Hey, since you have the skillz, why don't you pull a little run of your own, go to E3, infiltrate the hotel, and whack the sack-jobs responsible for the Shadowrun FPS.

I'm a Tax Director. Very applicable to SR. :) Oddly, I've never really played a character with corporate affiliations.
