I'm a teacher do its obvious - we use Lego in the classroom for learning and play and I display my own Lego in my classroom. The kids love it, and my next class are all lego obsessed (need to brush up on my Chima and Ninjago)!

This far I just feel torn between searching for deals and working

Haha - focus!

Not much.  Maybe it helps me to think more creatively in a very subtle way.

Lego does not influence my job at all. My current summer job is mowing two lawns a week. Not much there to influence by Lego sets.

My job is influenced by my investing because I have gotten a few people in my office into collecting and investing. I have also taken some of their information and bought a few masterpiece TF.

LEGO influences my job (and my pocketbook) by bringing me

My job is selling, so Lego is another product line.

I build Models for a small film company(not my main job, as i retired due to illness). I use Lego a lot to show build ideas before creating expensive models.  Stomping

I work at it more to make more money to buy them. lol

I am a transmission design engineer, and I can thank growing up with lego for that. I remember first using the technic sets learning about gear ratios and differentials. It also helps me to have a bit of creativity when dealing with difficult spacial issues.

That being said, Its a lot harder to rebuild the parts I now work with into a bitchin spaceship.

Im a pilot in the Air Force. I build kits while on long nightshift lunchbreaks in our tv/breakroom. Sometimes i will finish only 10% of a kit and go fly. Only to come back and find the kit 100% done by other coworkers during their successive breaks. It seems building a kit helps relieve stress and theyre happy to help.

I was dismayed on ordering large a SW cruiser on ebay only to receive it broken down to each piece and not like the auction photo of it together. My 4yr old needed it built of course.

I then bring the finished kit home to the kids to surprise them and play with. To occasional disastrous results.

I suppose i use legos to chill everybody out. I suppose a dart board or other gimmick would help too.

I'm a youtuber so Lego highly influences my job as imma be making more lego stop motion films....so yeah go Lego! lol

That's your full-time job? That takes guts and lots of skill to take the time to make those videos, good luck. LOL at my multiple edits

I'm an IT Security Consultant / Solution Designer. Lego does nothing at all to help (or influence) my job, but I find it a good stress reliever for the times the job rides me into the ground. Although having just finished TB without numbered bags, may have caused more stress than the job!

My wife says I have three jobs; Lego is one.

I have to keep LEGO and my job completely isolated from each other.  To the point that I am looking over my shoulder at local stores to make sure no one I work with is around.  Regardless of the investment potential, if word got out about my hobby I would be laughed right out of the workplace.  My work community has a reputation for eating it's own and one must have an extremely thick skin to begin with.  I really have no wish to give them more ammunition than they already have lol....

Ouch, that`s unfortunate. I always find it interesting when people look at my involvement in the hobby strangely, yet I know that they pay significant amounts of money for "adult" entertainment. I just quietly go and build another model, and laugh whilst I do it. 

 

As far as my job/university goes, I don`t really say too much about the hobby anymore. It`s just not something that most people expect to hear from someone "my age" who needs to "get a life." But much of my pay checks always go into some sort of Lego item just the same. I love it, and always will regardless 

My wife says I have three jobs; Lego is one.

 

I am assuming from being married one of the other ones involves chores of some type. Mine is Yard work.

Haha, chores are my hobby, my wife says. Parenthood is my first job.

I'm a video editor full time and I display my sets/boxes in my edit bay at the office. It's fun showing them to producers and directors who work with me. Just the other day I was talking to our intern who it turns out has been building Lego with her brother for over 10 years, score!

It has little effect on my work. My colleagues know of my hoby. At first they were sceptical, but after my first sale and big profit everyone is more interested
