I have a glass company. And a bartending service. Also pinballglass.com

Smokey- I know you were kidding. I'm blonde and female, but not dumb. Oh, and please stop jacking up the gas prices every time my cars' gas lights come on.
I've heard of pinball machines in gas stations, just never any around here. I think that was one of those 'in the good 'ol times, a long time ago' things.

I'm an insurance agent specializing in the "Municipal" market insuring Township's, Village's, City's, County's and various other municipal entities in Michigan.

You are ready to compete in the A division.

LTG : )

That is what I should have done.

I sell Hyundai's

I am Television Producer/Writer. I'm not sure how it relates to me being involved with pinball but it sure it the best thing in the world coming home after a long 12-14 hour shoot day and playing pinball. I really don't know a lot of others in my business who enjoy this besides my wonderful girlfriend(who also is a producer and bought me my pin). Although I hope to get many more people into it and hopefully revive this industry!

Oh, another one of THESE posts. Ok, I'll bite. Stuff changes, so why not.

I'm a Sr. Consulting Engineer at a high-tech firm. I sell, design, build, support, and stress-over (but get paid well for) dealing with enterprise voice over IP networks.

When crap breaks, they call me on their cell phones in a panic. And I bill accordingly.

o-din I actually work in reality!! haha. Trust me I have been throwing around ideas on how I could make a pinball show. I just need it to gain some steam and kids to latch onto it.

If Pinball sales keep going up and more machines are made, it will only be a matter of time before Pinball Pickers is produced and we'll see a couple of Pinheads traveling around the world picking up and refurbing pins!

Sweet! I love Hyundai. I did a lot of research 10 years ago and convinced my Mom her new car should be a Hyundai - so she got a 2002 Hyundai Sonata. Been running like a champ, and it looks nice too! I recently test drove a new Sonata and they seem even nicer now. Too bad I can't afford a new car

It's actually been done on a few shows already. Picking pins and refurbishing them on Pawn Stars and some other shows. As long as TV keeps getting made I can buy more and more pins. So then I am happy

There have been a number of threads of this topic, but always fun. I am a video game designer. Pinball is relaxing to me, but still game related. It's nice coming home after sitting in front of the computer all day scripting in code and Maya to relax and play pins!

Here I am babbling about our next game "Sly Cooper thieves in time"

Flattered by your comment cause I really wish I could work on pins like you.

I'm a project manager for a conveyor company. Our office provides turnkey services for power plant bulk handling (read: coal, limestone, and gypsum) conveyor systems. While not directly related to pinball I find that a material handling system is like a big pinball machine. They each have a processor(PLC), gates/diverters, chutes/ramps, mechanical switches/opto switches, sequence requirements (one thing has to happen before the next function can happen), etc.

Some of what we provide we do ourselves so we are self sufficient some of the time where there are other services we need to buy out. This is like pinball in that I can take care of most of the issues on my games but there are times I need to buy what I need in the form of reproduced parts or circuit board services.

A writer who works on reality TV? Say it ain't so! I worked in entertainment for a while and auditioned for "reality TV". Funny concept I still find myself watching it from time to time though!

I make drugs.

I currently test the safety efficacy of drugs prior to approval for human use >> working for a large contract research organization at this time.

It has little to do with pinball but an analytical mind never hurts when working on them. It does tend to interfere with my ability to play well as I usually do better 3 drinks in than I do sober.

Oh Oh....I mean I'm not a writer hahaha

JOATMON for the past 20 years.

I help keep women's asses large!

See if you can guess what I do.

Burger flipper at Micky D's.

LTG : )

I doodle stuff on random paper. Some months I get paid for it, some months I don't. Some times pinball related, some times not.

Good guess! Actually I sell junk food...err, I mean "snacks the whole family can enjoy!"
I'm a distributor of a variety of snack foods.

So if you like your women on the plus side, I'm the one to thank!

Yeah, all we have now are beer, cigs, and lottery tickets. If you want cheap gas, buy on Wednesday, it always goes up on Thursday!

Software Architect. I like hard problems with undefined boundaries and pinball certainly applies. And when the game breaks, I love the troubleshooting almost as much as the playing.

little debbies?? if yes, i just gotta say how much i love your oatmeal cookies with the cream filling

Fritz Lay distributor? Trying to think what pin would tie into that?

A wide body.

LTG : )

No pin ties into it other than my occupation pays for it. I cover a large territory and am always on the lookout, I have found a few in the past while on the road so I guess it ties in that way.

And no, it's not "Fritz Lay" or "Little Debbie" but Snyder's, Jay's, Lance and Archway products mainly.

Truck Stop.

The Little Debbie/McKee bakery is just down the street from my parents' house. Little Debbie Parkway is one of the main access roads there, and there is a Little Debbie outlet that sells overstock for 25 cents per box. Yum. Sadly "Little Debbie" Deborah McKee's gorgeous family farm was just turned into a stupid tudorcraftolonial neighborhood where they crammed as many houses in as they could and want a fortune for them.

Oh, and you haven't truly lived until you've had a oatmeal creme hot off the production line. Cream all gooey and melty... OMG.

I am a commercial banker. 5% of the time it's like that show called Shark Tank. The other 95% is spent dealing with problems other people have caused.

Snyders is hella delicious. The flavored mini pretzels are a personal weakness, but the big box of hard pretzels is very satisfying as well.

Shout out to Nutty_50, I also work for Johnson Controls in Dallas as a System Rep. 4. Troubleshooting, repairing and programming controls is a hand to hand for pinball repairs.
I also own Silverball Holding Co., I restore most anything coin-op related, but prefer to dabble in pinball. I need a bigger company truck so I can pick up pins on my service route.

I am a developmental engineer for Wright Patterson AFB.

But you have to be careful who you tell that you are a Johnson tech.

Im a union sheet metal worker . If I'm lucky I get a couple

Big OT jobs and all my OT money for pins . Buying and selling thing on the side really helps

Doesn't matter I just really enjoy my pinball .

Electrician specializing in everything from private high voltage pole line work to computer networking and fiber optics with a dash of local government video security build out and off grid solar systems. How does this work into pinball? Well working with the public gives me access to customers who have pins and arcade machines that need service, kind of a win win for me!

Mechanical Engineer that ended up doing large capital project management for a mega manufacturing company. Recently resigned and now do my own part time contract/consulting work. Love it and love the extra free time to learn more about pins and other new and interesting hobbies.

Used to do in-house IS/IT work for a major retail chain.

Now I am a project lead for the same chain. Cover 34 stores in N. Ca, and have 50 people to look after.

Besides the IS/IT work, no clue how it relates to my love of pinball.

I'm a a/v tech so my occupation really helps me. Still a learning curve but troubleshooting isn't that bad.

I work in Neuro, and I guess I like complex systems (I love playing pins, but love even more working on and restoring them).

I'm an engineering technician. I am to research engineers, as a nurse is to a doctor. My specialties are electronics and optics. The electronics help for pinball, but the optics don't. Unless Laser Cue is more literal than I thought.

Commercial General Contractor although lately mostly a Systems Construction metal building dealer.

I teach children to do feats of strength and dexterity. Sometimes on a thin piece of wood, or on some old bars laying around. They seem to be having fun. I would say it has nothing to do with pinball, and that's okay.
