do these people have jobs?

Welcome to the new wide world. And welcome to Cardschat.

Employment worldwide takes many many shapes. Many will not have to report to some location to perform work at a specific place. Even at those places, many have jobs that are hours of boredom punctuated by short periods of intense work.

Many are retired. Many are European, where your daytime is their evenings. Aussies being (+/-) 8-10 hours different play upside down

Some are online poker pros.

This will continue to expand btw. As India and China join more and more into the WWW and realize that much/most of the content on the web is in English, they will gravitate more and more toward English speaking sites. This is not to knock any regional languages or dialects, but the simple truth is more folks speak English on this planet than than any other language.

Your first response will likely be BS!, what about Chinese? As I understand it, the dialects of Chinese are usually unintelligible from north to south, and east to west. English is a well ingrained language there, and in India as well.

Maybe there are more jobs out there than just the 9-to-5 world. I make $45k working from 6PM to 3AM, and I'm not taking a $10k pay cut to work days.

So you'll see me on the felt late at night or during "normal" business hours.
