I've tried searching for a similar topic, but no results, so here it goes:

What do fellow GOGlodytes do for a living, or what do they do in life generally? Does your job/studies leave you enough time for Good Old Gaming, or do you have to travel a lot?

Myself, I used to work as a teacher, but I hated every minute of it, so I took the plunge and accepted a government job as a translator/proofreader. The salary is meagre (as is for all other government jobs), but I can earn a fair amount of cash working as a translator on the side. Fortunately, GOGs are very cheap. :) Sometimes I have lots of free time for gaming, sometimes I'm busy for the entire week, but at least I've got a job that suits my temperament.

What about you?

Self-employed. Owner and sole employee of a souvenir shop. I work 4-5 months a year and live off what I make for the rest of the year through tight budgeting, and I invest and save the rest for the future. I also take occasional programming and translation work online, but that amounts to peanuts.

I work in auto insurance. I get benfits and my company keeps growing so job security.
