It wasn't D&D, but the skills my husband learned GMing for 15 years over several different systems are definitely helping his career. The ability to manipulate and anticipate the ways in which numbers and statistics can be manipulated in all their many different ways Ithank you rules lawyers) have given him a leg up in his current position as a stability coordinator and now head of compliance and support at a multi-national pharma company. He works quality control and collects and analyzes testing data looking for trends and possible issues by manipulating the numbers to see them from different angles - something he partially learned at "Gaming U" by having to try to anticipate how his players would try to break the mechanics.
