HI all!

This is a message we received via our website. Rather than collecting answers to funnel back to Harvey, I decided to just share it with the email group.

> I am currently a master's student studying Psychology with a keen interest in how video games can be used positively to boost well-being, socializing and reduce cognitive deficiency in both disabled and non-disabled gamers. Over the summer I will be carrying out an internship at the UK charity Special Effect and undertaking a study to empirically determine the positive effects video games have on the physically disabled gamers they work with. I am emailing you to ask for advice regarding future careers in this sector. I am aware the SIG is made up of volunteers, however I was wondering if you could give me some kind of idea of the careers some of your volunteers have, I am trying to gain some inspiration for what paths might be possible to follow after my internship. Any advice you may be able to provide would be greatly appreciated.
