    Default Jobs Outside of Fantasy Hockey

    I was just curious what fields most of you gents work in to pay for your fantasy hockey addiction?

    I have a theory that people in certain careers are more drawn to fantasy sports than others (with obvious expceptions).

    I work as an Investment Advisor, and most people in my office seem to love the numbers involved in fantasy.

    Have a great long weekend!

    I am an educator and at present am working full time on a Masters in Curriculum and Teaching Studies. I have a passion for philosophy (not formally trained) and am considering tackling some research interests in social justice as it pertains to the field of education for a doctorate (if I can get in to the program). How this fits into fantasy hockey... I have no idea!

    I work with my pops, 10-15 years before I take over.
    We are a manufacturer and distributor of stainless, mild steel and aluminum fasteners.
    We sell mostly direct but sometimes through distributors to the mining, automotive, fabrication and insulation industries.

    Secondary School teacher here. English, German, History and P.E. So nothing about the numbers, analytics and stuff and I don't know if the P.E. helps for fantasy hockey. I realised there are many teachers on these boards (my commish is one, too for example).
    Fantasy hockey isn't common at all in Europe though, but I made a buddy of mine join my NA-dominated pool lately. So the addiction is expanding to new boundaries!
    24 team H2H dynasty, fantasy points, no cap
    Skaters: G 4.5 (5 for Ds), A 3, PPG 1.5 (2 for Ds), PPA 1 (1.5 for Ds), SHP 2, Ft 2, HIT 0.6, BLK 0.6, SOG 0.3 (0.4 for Ds), FW 0.1, Tk 0.5 // Gv -0.3
    Goalies: W 3.5, SHO 5, SV 0.5, A 3 // GA -3, L -1.5
    4C, 4LW, 4RW, 6D, 2G, 4BN, 4IR

    C: McDavid, MacKinnon, Hischier
    LW: B.Tkachuk, Ovechkin, Paul(C), Jankowski(C)
    LW/RW: Meier, Fiala, Giroux(C), Niederreiter
    RW: Reinhart, Anderson, Armia
    D: Josi, Matheson, Durzi, Moser, Cernak, Zadorov, Siegenthaler
    G: Daccord, Merzlikins, Vanecek, Pickard

    44 minors; most noteables: A.Schmid, E.Andrae, M.Kesselring, S.Malinski, B.Pachal, L.Stanley, L.Bichsel, E.Soderblom,...
