Yes, they can. According to the Bhagavad Gita, one is required to do some work in this world, and full time members of the Krishna consciousness movement stay active all day, inside and outside the temple. However, by far the majority members live and work outside of the monastic temples. The traditional Vedic social system had younger persons spend a period of their life focused exclusively on spiritual education. After that, they may get married or stay as monastics; most Hare Krishnas opt for the married life after their time in the temple. I lived in a temple and now I'm studying at college. I know doctors, lawyers, psychologists, nurses, business owner etc who are Hare Krishnas.

Hare Krishnas actually practice Gaudiya Vaishnavism, a monotheistic denomination within Hinduism, a tradition that goes back 5000 years.
