out of curiosity

I'm employed full time, and a Law student part time. I don't fit in this poll. 🙂

I voted employed, but I'm a student with a part time job as C++ programmer. I still live with my parents, so almost all money I earn I can spend on cameras 😀

I work in technology for one of those big investment banks that never got into the mainstream news until two months ago.

I'm not sure I could deal with the stress of being a professional photographer - I'd worry that all the fun would be drained out of it, having to think where the next buck was coming from.

I'm a student and have 2 jobs..
Cant afford be a student over here if you dont earn any money... (well unless you get parents to pay for you, but i take pride in paying my own way through uni)

I wish there was a "semi-retired" option. I'm still not quite 60, which is the common retiring age in my country; but I can do little work -- photography, editing or writing -- as I have to care for my 85-year-old mother.

I'm self-employed, don't have, need, or want a job. I earn most of my income from my photography, but I also do web design and graphic design work for some of my clients.

Full-time employment as professional autistic.

Had 4 years off work but needed to get back to fund film photography hobby and to stop wife from turning me into a house b***h. Back lawyering for a year now. Cynical enough to do the job without thinking clients are on the right side.

Quit my job eight months ago. Traveling and doing what I want, when I want seemed like more fun.

... 60, which is the common retiring age in my country...

Wow! I will have to work until I am 67 here in Germany!!

Land Surveying/Cartography pays the bills.
Before the "Great Recession" (actually, "Great Depression, 22nd Century Edtion), I would never have believed that land developing would come to such a screeching halt.
Use to use my hobby of photography to relax from the stress of imposed deadlines :bang:, now use my hobby to relax from the stress of not having these deadlines :bang:. Go figure??
Anyway, hopefully will be able to retire by choice, in the near future. Then will use photography to generate my "mad money", even if it's just good ole "horse trading". 😉
