Do odd jobs (eg data-capturing, filing) at a printing and repro company. Oddly i do a lot of accounting, weird for an engineer, heh.
Play 6-9 hrs a week during varsity time, mainly on weekends.
10-15 hrs now during varsity break.
Another SAFFA! Cool. One thing, Univarsity - was that intended or a simple mistake? (maybe Unifarsity?)

I would say I am a casual player. I have a wife and 4 kids!! I play for about 2 hours a night, plus or minus depending on family events. I work a 60+ hour job a week8:30-7:30 6 days a week. I play more on the one day i get off (Sunday). I have only been playing for a month now and have been in the village for a little over a week. I am prepared to be 6 mo to a year for jedi. My only concern is a couple of new games scheduled to be released this spring that are along the same lines of my intrigue (Lord of the Rings). Being released online so not sure if I will stay with this or start playing that game and drop this one. I would like to continue with both, but with my time I am not sure which yet 
But may play a little of both and just be jedi later than sooner.

Usually only play late Friday nights and weekends. On more this week since my darts/pool teams are either finished for the season, or on break for the holidays. Usually about 5 to 10 hours a week.
And I am a Network Engineer (10 years), but not for SOE.

Figure I'll chime in here....
Full time electrical engineer at a utility in NY, working 45+ hours per week. Have a wife, house and a dog. I'm content if I can play one to two hours in an evening. Weekends are usually no different -happy if I can play a couple hours each day.

I try to play as much as I can, which can be anywhere from 8-15 hours on a good week. But family, job, etc always has priority, so alot of times it is much less.
So I would say Casual player.
I fear the grind.......

2 young kids (3 & 6) + wife + FTJ (Network Manager, 40+ a week) + SWG = OUTTA MY MIND! I have brought up the same discussion with some of my co-workers that play and they say SWG is for "Hardcore Gamers" so in essence us "casual gamers" are 2nd class citizens. I started playing last year (2003) and quit earlier this year (2004) due to the time I was putting in only to start playing again after JTL release. It is total love/hate for me due to the repetitive nature of grinding, the economy and bugs but I do have so much fun exploring the SWG universe and meeting other people. So ultimately I spend 1 buff session a night and 2 to 4 on the weekends, hardly casual but that's what it takes for me to get anywhere in game. I need to get a job with SOE so I can feed my addiction and get paid to do it!

I'm probably qualified as being a "casual" gamer since I've beenaway from any kind of internet gaming during the regular weekdays the past five to six months. I study in another town and live at a dorm there without internet connection, so I can only play friday evening to sunday afternoon when I'm with my family before being off to skewl' again. That *roughly* qualifies me for about 4-6 buff sessions at max, provided I don't do much else during the weekend.
I do get to play alot more during the holidays though.
