Quoted from The_Director:

Went to film school, trained as a cinematographer and that's my primary role, but can direct, edit, produce, whatever. For a living with it, spent a decade as a corporate video specialist working in house on commercials, industrial videos, client testimonials, marketing campaigns, etc. Decent money, but you're putting a square peg into a round hole i.e. a creative person into a corporate environment. I hated it most of the time unless I was very production heavy, lots of time wasting at a desk waiting for the next project. Got laid off, and the stars aligned and I was able to turn pinball into my full-time job.
So, now, and for the past year and half I work as the tech for Abari Game Bar in Charlotte and keep up our 20 pins and over 35 arcades, as well as restore project machines we get in from various places. I also do home repairs and repairs for people at my house on machines and still take the occasional video production gig when the project and pay is right. I love it, happiest I've ever been in my professional career and working on games that get the play ours do is a new challenge every day and makes you that much better of a technician.
