Criminals?

Dugg for plumbers.

No Master Chiefs or Space Marines? Pssh. /sarcasm

Shouldn't this just be all jobs?

Rifleman landing on Normandy...

i was quite happy being S.T.A.R.S. member until the whole zombie incident

Test subject at the Aperture Science Enrichment Center

Oh my god, plumbers #1. Didn't see that coming.

I prefer being Duke Nukem; shooting random monsters and having my way with women.

what a waste of my not-valuable time

...Just 7? Talk about lazy. Or too hardworking.

I'm inclined to think ANY job in a video game is better than in real life.

Root beer tappers?

Driving a forklift and loading boxes in Shenmue was about equal with Driving a forklift and loading boxes in real life...

"7 Jobs That Are Better In Video Games Than In Real Life" I don't think there are jobs that are easier in life than in games.

For the lazy:

7- Food Service Industry
6- Paperboys
5- Doctors
4- Photojournalists
3- Taxi Drivers
2- Criminals
1- Plumbers

No Physicist?

I would have to say being a soldier would be number one. Walk over ammo to pick it up, wait a few seconds and you are completely healed, respawn within seconds when you die....can't beat that.

It ain't easy being a hunter

Excavator - Dig-Dug
Exterminator - Wizard of War
Elevator Operator - Elevator Action
Window Washer - Crazy Climber
Moon lander pilot - Lunar Lander
Tank commander - Battlezone

WHAT ISN'T.

Surprised Cop (on the edge) didn't make it.

unfunny.

7 jobs? Try thousands, that's why we play video games.

Plumber is not the worst job a person can have as the article states. I have a couple of friends who are, and they make very
good money. Is it hard work? Hell yes but it is a good job.

What about lawyers?

Phoenix Wright was much more fun than the real legal system.

pretty expected stuff on that list :o)

I happen to be a photojournalist and I find the job amazingly fun.

what about being in the military? all these games come out like Men of Honor and Call of Duty and it seems badass. Like you can just go out with an M4 and lay to waste... psyche! No, you're going to Iraq where you drink two gallons of water a day just to keep from dying, then some kid runs at you with a grenade and now you're dead. Cant try that level again dick!

They forgot being an everyday Joe. Postal I & II

I don't digg much down, but this one was pretty dumb.

No ace attorney? OBJECTION!!!

... Archaeologists?

What about theoretical physicist?

What about random farmboys? In video games they get to become the greatest fighter/wizard/fighter-wizard in all the land (admittedly this is after their parents are killed, but you take the good with the bad sometimes).

im surprised theres no army here

works just as well if it was "Jobs that are better in movies/novels/internet"

Dugg for burgertime. Peter Pepper picked peppers, but Run writes rhymes.

Clone of the Intellivision Burgertime (which for some reason is the most fun port) that also lets you play 2 player over the internet.

No Pirates? No theoretical physicists? No Aperture Science test subjects? No Ace Attorneys at Law? No United States Marines/Army corps?

I mean...no Harvest Moon? Pulling up weeds, pleasing strict women with gifts and watering onions can't be THAT great...

Gynaecologists FTW... oh that's the other way round.

Actually being a doctor would be fun.

Same thing with a criminal. I'm not talking low street hoodlum who has a 90% chance of going to jail, but the covert organized ones that are smart and make ***** of cash. Like everyone in the Bush Administration. That would actually be fun.

And Plumber... would be fun. I saw this porn once where the guy laying on his back fixing a kitchen sink had a lovely surprise from a woman (the homeowner) who suddenly stood above him. I'd do that.

The straight piece in tetris. Everyone needs you and eagerly awaits your appearance.

PAPERBOY!

My favorite!

Dugg for Burger Time.

How is being a paperboy in a video game better than in real life? I don't recall getting chased by a handful of dogs, running into panes of glass, and getting hunted down by death himself all in one day when I was a paperboy.
