1. Look at the age poll- you'll see that what appears to be a majority of forum-goers are over 30. Older = more time to establish careers.
2. Selection bias- people with the more "interesting", higher-paying jobs are more likely to reply, especially as the pile of replies listing interesting, high-paying jobs grows.
No reason to doubt people IMO, except for maybe the Queen of England...

DemonDruaga✭✭✭✭I'm working in the rail way construction industry in europe. I don't know the english words for my functions and all but,
doing the hard work at the construction site and beeing responsible that every family father gets home alife is all part of the job.
Most of the time its nightshift and weekends, thats why you'll meet me online at strange EU times.
Basicly making sure that millions of other people can go safely to work every day and night 😉Edited by DemonDruaga on September 2, 2019 12:34AMArdor // Dunkelsicht // Pakt9 -

It's...interesting. My regular work includes everything from writing what's essentially press releases on scientific research and editing a newsletter to managing disputes between people, giving legal advice and IT support, and I literally never know what I'm going to find myself doing from one day to the next. Only downside is I don't get out in the field as much as I'd like to.BaiterOfZergs wrote: »lmfao- only in MMO Forums do you see Do you want fries with that workers proclaim their...

Wow would you look at that, a wild hater in their natural habitat
Funny thing is it's not even hard to believe everyone's telling the truth...apart from the one who said they're the Queen of England, I'm not sure she'd have the reflexes for ESO. It's not like any of the jobs people have listed are wildly impossible, it's all things which thousands or millions of people around the world do. (Also when you look at what some people spend on this game - with virtual houses that cost over £50 - they have to have well paying jobs.)
A music forum I used to post on had a similar topic, with a similar range of answers. I met quite a few people from that forum in real life (because when you talk all the time and then you're going to the same gigs it seems strange not to meet up) and everyone I got to know in real life was exactly who they said they were, teaching assistant, civil engineer, lawyer, professional musician, dean of students at a university.
I agree. With a few exceptions, I find most of these fields perfectly viable. I really am the general sales manager of a BMW dealership - why would I think anyone else would lie about their professions?
I know, it’s silly. One person I argued with here before stated that I couldn’t possibly be a nurse (can’t remember how it came up) because I wouldn’t have time to post on the forums or play ESO. When I pointed out that we have days off like every other normal working human being, he stated that if I were ACTUALLY a nurse, I’d be “recovering” and “sleeping” on my days off instead of posting on the forums and playing ESO.
Like, having superhuman time management skills and functioning well on less than adequate amounts of sleep is kinda a huge part of my job, my dude...
You can totally recover with a controller in hand.
Hell theres this guy in my complex who's an ER Nurse, dude works ten 12hr shifts and STILL does cardio in our gym before and after his shift, and on his days off ive seen him out with his wife.

Feric51✭✭✭✭✭
✭Wildlife Specialist for county government.
Basically help the public with a variety of natural resource concerns including: dealing with nuisance wildlife, pond/lake management, plant/animal ID questions, etc. and serve as a guest lecturer for K-12 schools and public groups.
Also work in conjunction with our state division of wildlife to conduct surveys for various wildlife species.
Fringe benefit of my job is our office is small enough that I basically set my own itinerary for the week (still have to work 8-4:30) but can squeeze in some “me” time to just get out and walk around fields, woods and creeks to photograph plants and animals for “research.”
Sadly, despite the awesomeness of the job itself, the pay is not so awesome. Just shy of 14 years in this field and I’m making less than 40k/yr. Thankfully my wife is the breadwinner in our household and allows me to do a job I love.Feric51

My current salary barely lets me live month to month with some spending cash, so if youre making twice as much as me and you have an even more well off spouse, i think you have it pretty good.CP2,100 Master Explorer - AvA Two Star Warlord - Console Peasant - Khajiiti Aficionado - The Clan

Well, I could say "You want fries with that", but I have a staff of servers to do it for me.
Very condescending post @jazsper77 .
Look at the age poll thread. Majority of people here are 30-40+. In my guild over the last 5+years, I have seen several college students getting their PhD's or Masters. I have 70+ yr old retired computer programmers, pastry chefs, business owners, folks who code add ons, etc.
What do you do? You have not responded to this post. Why doubt people on face value?
To all my Tamerilians, whether you do nails, serve french fries, program computers, are retired, own corporations or are just in school getting by, I say HUZZAH to you!!
We are ALL equal in Tamriel!!
