I have been recently asking about game industry occupations, and I was wondering which occupational jobs you guys would take if you had the chance to help create a game.

 

* I bi-accidentely hit enter so a couple careers will be missing.

The only difference between a Troll and a Fanboi is which side of the fence they stand on.

I'm a Creative Director/Lead Designer/Level Designer of a MMO Company.

...I'd rather be a Producer or Director...

Level Designer / 3D modeling

I've created some Multiplayer maps for a game called Rune and one for Jedi Outcast. It has always been a hobby for me. It would be awesome to do it as a career but my focus is in graphic design. I would still like to do more level design but I haven't done it in a couple years. I just lost interest in playing Multiplayer FPS/Third-Person games and moved toward MMOs. When that happened I didn't have the drive to design maps anymore.

I do want to get back into doing 3D modeling though. I've modeled with 3DS Max and Lightwave. I want to try my hand with Blender. My only hesitation is learning a new program. The reason for the switch of programs is Blender is free and from what I've seen a really nice 3D prorgram from the work I've seen created with it.

Level Designer/Builder considering that is what I am doing while working as an Intern.

3d modeling and art are a large part of my career so I would probably want to explore the concept creation side of things.

(although I suppose that is a large part of my work as well but in a greater difference as far as initial concepts)

Don't have sigs with a cheerleaders butt swinging in it, or the prudes in the Age of Conan forum section of mmorpg.com will demand the mods have it removed.

why do humans build, because it isn''t there

Programmer.  Granted I'm specced for bussiness programming so I'd probably be doing database design and implementation.

A mathematician wakes up at night, and comes to the startling discovery that his room is on fire. He runs to his desk, and starts calculating, using many sheets of paper. Eventually, he writes "QED" and exclaims, "there is a solution!" Relieved, he goes back to sleep.
