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!

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!
