This might be an unusual question for some but just wanting to know if people here work in jobs NOT related to computers and that for them, this is just a hobby.

Edit: I guess I have 3 rigs in my sig, forgot about the lappy! :D
 
I work at McDonalds for $7 an hour. Sometimes I forget I am working becuase I zone out. It rocks
 
I am the owner/teacher of my own little private English conversation school in Japan. (I travel between Hawaii and Japan) and my school is Hawaiian themed. 45 students, all girls. About $1,600 a week to flirt with Japanese girls. ;)

And I dont even remember my English classes when I was in H.S. ...... Bong hits in the bathroom. Just kidding! Hawaiian bud is bad!......Bad I say! Dont do it !
