Indeed! Great posts Eltanin.
From my very first summer jobs, it was obvious that the skills I learned, almost by accident, in my quest for entertainment have served me well. I used to joke that every dollar I ever made was because of computer games. Add an engineering degree to that and now I am a partner in a successful consulting firm.
Still, there is a definite stigma associated with MMO players and I certainly don't brag about it to co-workers or clients. It would be interesting to see how the other partners and I would react if a employee candidate brought it up during an interview.
