Do you manage to combine WoW with real life?

[Membraniac]

[Yes] Are you currently occupied, such as work or studies?
[One semester away from my AA, still haven't decided what I will do after that, work or more school] Have you completed a higher education, for instance a master's thesis or a doctorate?
[Yes] Are you currently in a relationship?
[No] Do you have more than 10 friends who you know for sure would let you stay at their place for a month or two if you found yourself homeless?
[Yes, distributed relatively evenly. I may be on this forum about as much as I play, though I don't always post] Do you have other interests apart from WoW? If yes, do you spend more time on them or on WoW?
[I do a few political things and a science thing I won't get into] Are you making an impact in other people's life? For instance by volunteer working on a weekly basis.
[Above average] Would you consider yourself having a good general knowledge?
[No] Do you struggle with overweight?
[I would be riding my bike more and more active in my local activist scene] What do you think your life would look like if you spent no more than 2 hours each week sitting in front of a computer?

1. No, going to university this autumn.
2. ^
3. No.
4. No, considering none of my friends even have their own place yet.
5. Not really. I'm considering learning graphic design.
6. No.
7. I think so.
8. No, just a bit chubby :^)
9. I would be extremely bored most of the time, but I'd probably have looked for a summer job. I guess I would also spend more time with friends.

1. Working as a social worker for addicted patients going through second stage rehab
2. Masters Degree in Sociology, Associates in Psychology
3. I am. Going strong for the past 6 years. The talks of marriage are on the table.
4. I have a select group of people i associate with due to the work I do. But yes, they would gladly allow me into their home.
5. I have been playing the acoustic guitar for the past 14 years. That is my second love, right behind my girlfriend of course.
6. I am. Like I have stated, I work as a social worker with teens and young adults with addictions. Helping them overcome the terrible desire to "get high".
7. I would like to assume I have a decent grasp on the knowledge of day to day life.
8. I do not struggle with weight problems. I do not hit the gym ALL the time, but I eat healthy, I have a balanced life style and stay active.
9. I would definitely be more active with my guitar. I would have more time thinking about my writing, more time to view cultural differences. More time to study sociological diversity and the like.

I am sorry this may be rude but, isn't Sociology, Associates in Psychology quite useless? How do you even make money from that?

studying the phrase you just used to ask me why i chose the profession i chose. do you know why you asked me that? do you know what caused your brain to react to the readings you just read and make you psychologically feel the need to ask that question? you may think it is useless or that some one can not make money doing it. sure... i dont make a lot of money using the psychology degree i have working with addicts, but that is where sociology come in. i find many different ethnic, religious, wealth, backgrounds coming through the office i work in. i find many young people, many young adult, and the number of elderly. i study the reasoning behind there choice to use drugs or alchohol. those studies in turn help classify, or make others better understand the classifications of life. such as, the poor, the middle class, the working class, the wealthy and the powerful.

sociology goes way deeper than you may think or understand. am i going to strike it rich by writing a book about my findings? maybe, but that stems from the research i have done over the past couple years. psychology on the other hand, i am going to be starting on my bachelors this fall and soon go for my masters. i would like to get a doctorate in both fields of science. i am fascinated how the human brain works, i am fascinated how we as a species move together, work together, and even hate together.

so thats what i do... i study people..

[Niceloot]

I knew before I even read the responses that everyone would claim this about the overweight question.


> everyone is a super fit gym-goer
> everyone is a fucking liar.

Wouldn't biology/chemistry be more interesting & fun then?

[nydiwia]

Wouldn't need it.
Do you have other interests apart from WoW? If yes, do you spend more time on them or on WoW?

I find the actual social interactions of our species more interesting than the actual species it self. Look around you and think about your life style and the region of the globe you are in. Now take a look on the internet, for quick and vague references, on how other parts of the globe live and socialize. Its quite different. I find it just utterly astonishing which drove me to study it.
