for me, i’d choose to be an artist :
i used to draw a lot when i was kid but unfortunately not anymore …
sooo ??
if you are not a software engineer, a game developer, a web designer, or anything into computer science,
what do you want to be ??
Architect and/or pilot.
Grease monkey
A.K.A: Mechanic
Game commentator, because it would be fun to play games for a living
nuclear physicist
I just wanted to answer “web designer”.
Shop Owner or Mathematician
Electrical engineer or Air Force pilot.
physicist
I’d probably go onto be an engineer like my father

Actually, I’d probably try to become an Architect.
the last few years I discovered I might have missed my true calling; When I’m not a developer I’m a cook. There is nothing more satisfying than being creative in the kitchen, because the reward for doing it well is that you get to eat it afterwards and/or see other people enjoy it!
How often do you really use or play the stuff you develop yourself I wonder (dev tools being a notable exception)? Hardly ever right?
probably a struggling musician :-/
I play my own games for hundreds of hours! Perhaps that’s why I’m so utterly sick of the sight of them and don’t play any other games any more
I’d be an author I think if I were not a programmer.

I have no idea since I never thought about what job I’ll apply for. I don’t even know what jobs are all out there because I never thought about it a single second.
Actually I’m not even a programmer because I don’t work yet. But I cannot really imagine anything else at all… except Lotto winner. Yeah I guess that’d be ok.
I’m not a programmer so…
Exactly the same for me Since I’ve been working on Daedalus, I don’t play any other game … and I play Daedalus A LOT! As I don’t have an army of testers I think I don’t have any choice to find bugs and improve the gameplay anyway
Otherwise I think I’d be musician or graphic artist
System Administrator
Let me rephrase: play to ENJOY it. Testing can hardly be called playing - its damned hard work!
