Thought I'd jump in too, fun to see all the different ages, bg's and jobs.
1) I am 22, male, Australian.
2) I work in online and offline marketing, writing, website development and eSports (all self-employed as is my way).
3) 1-2 hours a day playing games. Though sometimes I watch streams while I write etc. My day is pretty all over the place doing different things to make money and have fun.
4) As I mentioned in 2) I love to write and work on a lot of different projects in eSports and in other areas. I develop extra websites and passive income in my spare time. I cycle to keep fit and sometimes train in Aikido (martial art). The rest of the time I spend with my gf @gilbertamie and my dog, Tychus. ^^
5) Yes, I would. Well I don't have a 'job' but I would become a progamer. But not in the traditional 'compete in tourneys and win money sort of way' I would earn money through coaching, team management and content creation (writing and videos) if I could (somtimes I already do but not at the 'pro' level yet).

Currently a Uni student, started studying last year after a 6-7 year career in Hospitality which saw me do many jobs in many places including Bar Managing, Cafe Managing, Barista and Chef/Cooking work.
3. How much many hours of games do you play a week?
No where near what I should, I am far too social and spend too much of my time talking to people or dicking around in chatbox/photoshop/reddit..
4. Do you have any other activities (such as sports, music etc).
Hmm not so much anymore, unless you count drinking. I guess I like watching movies and going to concerts and stuff, but since moving back to Auckland last year I have only really starting meeting people in the last month so haven't been out much.
5. Would you consider quiting your job to become a progamer?
Hmmm I dunno, maybe not to play because I don't ever think I would be at the level where I could make money from it, but would definately quit studying sciences for a job in eSports whether it be managing, casting or an organisational role.
1. 17
2. I study
3. Depends , if its summer i play 14 hours per day, so do the math. If I have to go to school and all that then its 60 hours per week?
4. I used to play basketball & skateboard , but now im injured, I play the guitar + sing for a band
5. Would be a dream. I would say yes, if i can get what i would get on another job, just by playing videogames i would right away.
3. How much many hours of games do you play a week?
3-4
4. Do you have any other activities (such as sports, music etc).
I play a lot of basketball, listen to a lot of trance =P. Also enjoy chilling with friends and watching sport (esp. NBA and AFL).
5. Would you consider quiting your job to become a progamer?
Nope. Would get disowned by the family T_T. I can see my parents being all like 'You have brought dis-honour to our family, all our money goes to your sister.' Nah, seriously I wouldn't. Sure SC2 is fun, but I wouldn't want to do it as a living.
