I was lucky enough to get in early on a startup that many of you have used (it wouldn't be appropriate to name the company).

Currently I make $190k/yr leading two product/engineering teams @ 26 years old. First generation college here coming from a working class family so I'm incredibly thankful for the opportunities I've had.

If that were the case I would've been 10 years old when I created EQ. That would be impressive.

Started playing in Velious when I was 12 :-) (E'ci then later Bristlebane)

You're not living in the city with any kind of standard of living with 60-70k. Maybe if your apartment faces a brick wall, living out in Jersey with no car, and taking the train to work daily.
Everyone takes the subway to work. What are you talking about?

thread needed a better poll to get accurate data

I would suggest three categories of employment:

Hands

Head

Ass and/or/to Mouth

Self Employed (Real Estate Sales/Property Management) Grossed $256,000 last year. This year should be a tad higher.

I am 28. I have a regular day job selling LiDAR which is used in self driving cars and drones. Its like radar but with lasers. I spend most of my EQ time playing in hotels around the country. I have probably Everquested in more locations than anyone else.

I also recently started a distribution business importing industrial machines and accessories from Europe and selling them in the US due to the declining Euro. I rely on my self-taught google SEO skills to bring in leads, for free. I started this company while still at my last job which was in the same market, except I didn't have a non-compete. The look on the CEO's face the day he confronted me about it - priceless.

I have over 100 different positions in the 5 core assets of stocks, bonds, currencies, real estate, and commodities across 6 brokerages and have 6 figures in liquid assets.

I credit most of my success to EQ and UO. Everything from learning how to type quickly before someone runs off screen to spotting market opportunities in game to the research and analytical skills needed to excel in these classic MMOs. The task killing efficiency I learned when boxing on classic, or PVPing in UO is a skill that none of my peers have.

I grew up relatively poor and have worked at over 25 different jobs. I used to ride my bike 6 miles to pick up the latest EQ releases.

Can we get a little bit of details? What type of property management? Residential?

What type of real estate sales?

Years self-employed, how you started.

I know this started as a troll thread by some attention starved guy, but a lot of us are at the age where we are looking for another hustle or are working transient jobs since the financial crash.

A little bit of details when posting your gigs would be cool rather than just bragging about all the $ you are making, just saying.
