NYCC 2014 Cosplayers Reveal Their Day Jobs

Cosplayers are a rightfully proud bunch who really enjoy getting in to character, even if only for a few hours on the con floor.

However, cosplay isn’t a paying gig for most- it’s a hobby and a way for folks to show off their costuming and fabrication skills.

Everybody's gotta pay the bills somehow, so BuzzFeed asked some of the fabulous cosplayers at New York Comic Con 2014 about their day job, and their answers might surprise you.

Okay, maybe they're not all that surprising, or unexpected, but I was surprised by the sheer variety of answers they received, although student and aspiring something-or-other did come up multiple times. 

As for those with very time consuming jobs like psychologist, neuroscientist, and analyst I can't help but wonder- where do they find the time and energy to put together such great costumes?!
