Got to talking about this with a couple of friends last night and I wondered:
Which Guild Wars Profession are you?
Now obviously I don't mean which do you play, but what profession are you in real life and why? For example, one of my GW buddies is a dentist; we decided that makes him a Monk ... Another is a keen amatuer Martial Artist so she's an Assassin (too easy I know).
As for me, I'm a bookmaker, so the general consensus seems to be that makes me a Mesmer; although I don't do the Riverdance. Ever.
What about you?
Which Guild Wars Profession are you?

I do a lot of boxing, so I guess that makes me a Warrior. Funny, because that's what I play as mostly.

Looking completely superficially at the classes - I'd have to be a ranger.
Tree-hugging-hippy FTW!
(Without the outfits though!)
I never do the ranger in game these days though.

Saelis Scarfang
I'm a psychologist and I screw with people's minds.
That makes me a mesmer, I guess.
Oh and -cough cough- lots of points into domination.
I'm surprised I haven't come across one of those blog quiz thingies, "Which Guild Wars profession are you?" with the questions in it.
1) Primary Attributes: What qualities do you have that are critical in your current field of work?
a) Doing work quickly and meeting all the deadlines. (Fast Casting)
b) Being able to take advantage of other people's failures by observation and putting their mistakes to good use. (Soul Reaping)
c) Being skilled enough to complete work without much effort or thought, so I hardly ever burn out. (Expertise)
d) Physical strength and endurance. (Strength)
e) Popular, able to work well with people and understanding their needs. (Divine Favor)
f) I just have lots of energy and passion for my work that keeps me going. (Energy Storage)
g) I have the killer instinct - the ability to spot business opportunities from a mile off. (Critical Strikes)
h) Being able to create new innovations and improve on current policies. (Spawning Power)
i) I am a natural leader. (Doh, leadership.)
j) I enjoy learning as I work, and every new project I finish inspires me to do more. (Mysticism)
I tried.

I do a lot of running and weights. I used to play rugby but stopped when I left school.
I played warrior but I actually do a bachelor of arts.

I must be a Ranger.
The US Army told me I was.
You know, the Army would've been a LOT more fun if we would've had Moas!

I'm a technician/constructor, I fix, replace and place new stuff. That would make me a monk or ritualist I guess which I happen to be.

Assassin
Im skinny
many people don't like me.
Many of my skills suck.
And I don't fight if I think I'll lose.

I'm a surveyor, so like the stone summit surveyors that would make me a ranger. which is handy because its also the prof of my main character !

Tatile
I have a tendency to hang back, stay quiet and make wierd contributions to discussions (in case you haven't already noticed), so I'd be what? A Weapon Spell Rit?
Kusandaa
Probably a paragon - they shout a lot and well... I talk a lot . Without the frilly underpants please D:.
I'm a necro in-game though o.o. Suits my husbands more than me IRL (he's a goth x]).

Esan
I stalk in the shadows at night and feed on unsuspecting humans, so I'd have to say I'm a touch ranger.
Cargan
I sit around and don't do much. I guess that would make me a pug monk.
zknifeh
i design home floor systems... not really sure what that makes me, perhaps a spirit rit?
but a friend of mine is a N/P, cuz he has like 5 kids (minions) and he always screams at them

cerb
I like to raise monsters from cadavers, so I guess that makes me a MM.
Taurucis
I think I'm an assassin. For the same reasons Ensoriki posted - I'm skinny, people don't like me, my skills are useless, and I'm always a target for ridicule. And I'm Asian, lol...
Personality-wise, I'm hot tempered, sarcastic, and I have a natural disdain for the higher-ups. Sounds like an Assassin, Elementalist, or Warrior...
Skill-wise, I like art, piano, and writing fantasy. That makes me a Mesmer.
I'm a A/Me/E/W. Watch as I Imagined Burden you, Conjure Flame, Tiger Stance spike you to death.

MONK!
I know my account name is a necro (fave when i made it) but i love monking now and imo theres nothing else to pay - the feeling of saving somebody's life with a nicely timed prot/heal is just great

Olim Chill
Operations Manager (controlling minions?), closely watch my surroundings, take control when needed, usually have a decent amount of energy, use curses at times. Necro seems to fit.
Ouchie
I work at a law firm sooooo
Curses Necro maybe
Curses Necro maybe
Jetdoc
Paragon here. I've got so many leader responsibilities it's scary.
Toutatis
I'm a musician IRL - continually changing to fit into new environments, maintaining a professional illusion to make new contacts, inspiring myself and others with art to create more art, underappreciated by those above and below me... And always looking absolutely fabulous no matter what I choose to wear.
I guess that makes me a mesmer, just like my main character

Warrior. I like hitting shit.
XiaoTheBlade
Guess I'm a mesmer, everyone loves me on their team, but hate me if im on the opposite team.
Perkunas
Construction - "Jack of all Trades" - guess that's why my fave class is Ranger, then Ele (all elements).

Currently a consultant but don't think that ties into GW very well. I'm told I'm best on ranger and mesmer which makes sense as I'm good at reading people and like to analyze situations before making a move or series of moves. Warrior provides more fun than either of those for me though for sensless, comfortable killing and I find myself playing one more than any other class when I just want to relax.

I used to do maintenance on Torpedo and Missile systems - umm, I guess that makes me a Ranger. (They're "ranged" weapons. )
Edit: = it just occured to me that the Torps and Sparrows used countermeasures, so that's why my second favourite class is Mesmer.
