I'm ex-raf, now training to be a driving instructor. I started 40k when 2nd ed was out, when I was about 13. I collected BA, a gorkamorka mob, and van saars for necromunder. I now collect IG, DA, started a converted necro gang, and just dug out the old gork mob!. I'm married with 1 child who is nearly 2! I now have little time for any hobby, but I'm gradually getting more time!

I am an accounting student, which will one day help me in my quest for global economic domination.
On the side, I am the public relations secretary for our college's honor society, which means I write minutes down of what happens at our meetings and give them to the rest of the executive board. Just so they remember what not to talk about at the next meeting.

*Skwisgaar Skwigelf voice* "I ams be an graduate student."
Right now I am currently not working, but my previous jobs were basically doing microbiology lab and aerosol lab work, and a brief stint as a SETA for my most recent job. After losing that job due to the time I had to take off to manage my mother's care when her health went into rapid decline prior to her death, I decided to return to school and pursue a Master's degree in Biosecurity and Biodefense.
Speaking of which, I need to get back to working on my group final exam project that is due tomorrow...

I left college with not much, and kept my job at the local corner shop. I'm a key holder at the shop and training slowly as a manager. As well as that I'm a counter clerk at the town post office. Very menial jobs I admit, I definitely don't earn as much as some people, but I still enjoy it. I know so many people and they know me, I regularly stop and just chat to people in town. That's what I take out of it, the fact that I'm known, and I enjoy it. You learns o much from people. Also with my commissions in my spare time, I plan to never stop, and just try to improve, and hopefully........if all goes well.......a studio will be on the cards, or something along those lines

The others 8 months so shes grabbing at everything and too time consuming to ignore and paint... Hehe. They definatly stop you having any kind of hobby but its well worth it

I'm 32, Been in and out of the hobby for about 18 years, but most recently came back into it around 3-4 years ago.
Happily married for nine looooooong years, and we have a daughter who turns 4 in March and has no interest in 40k (yet mwhahahahaa!) but we do have painting sessions together.
I'm a Technical/Architectural Sales Representative for a sashless window mob and travel a lot around Western Australia and South Australia. Been doing it for 5 years and I'm totally bored of it!!! If only there was some way to get paid to play 40k and do hobby daily without having to wear a red shirt......

im 30 , been in the digital and screenprinting industry since i was 18..i did take some time away for 2 years to try my hand at other careers but im back to printing... what im best at. i print everything from posters, buisnesscards , clothing , POS etc.. i also do vinyl grafhics and vehicle wraps. i run the screenprint department at my company and i really enjoy my job... the guys i work with are good people and the job can be quite varied, sometimes having to travel across the country to put up signs.
one of the best bits about my job is i get to keep all the waste material to use for model making... i have literally several pallets worth of plasticard, foamex, card in storage at my work.... yay..

I'm 19, currently failing at going to college, so I enlisted in the U.S. Army. Going to be an infantryman. Ship off to OSUT early next year. But other than that, I don't currently have a job. Oh, I'm also an EMT.
And I am a fledgling vintage firearms collector. Well, 'vintage' being between the years of 1890-1945 really. I love WWI-WWII era firearms.

Gosh, I'm the old man here. Trained as an accountant, I work for local government as the transport manager for education and social services. I'm 46, married with two kids of 21 & 23 the elder of whom plays.
Started with D&D in '77, picked up Rogue Trader when it first came out, and the rest (as they say) is history...

I am the immortal 20-foot-tall King of Brazil (which I inherited from both Mabus' and Jesus' part-time positions following a little recession-related downsizing in the Brazilian Royal Family) who shoots thunderbees from his fingertips and defecates gold bricks studded with diamonds. I can kill a man just by staring at him, and Santa Claus and I are bosom buddies. I have the cell phone numbers of every world leader on speed dial, and my mastery of disguise is such that I have been able to convince the entire world for fifty years that the Brazilian, Polish, and Iranian Olympic Teams have more members than they actually do; a sole individual between the three of them who happens to be me.
I also invented time travel so that I could go back and invent mathematics.
