Whats your 9-5 or w/e the time might be that fuels your passion for cars, or maybe it's a whole nother passion in itself.

I work as a sandwhich artist at subway making money with flexible hours which is important to a 17 yr. old, after High School though i'm goin on to college to major in international business, minor in marketing, minor in Japanese, and spend a semester abroad no subway then!

I'm 18 and double majoring in Business Marketing and Music Performance. I play violin (fiddle), guitar, and record music or a living. My 9-5 is performing in the backing band at Six Flags Fiesta Texas. Makes some damn good money I might add...

I'm a UPS driver. I drive around for 9-10 hours a day.

Boy what a relief it is to finally get back into my 240 at the end of the day.

Pizza delivery. I put 14,000 miles on my beater CRX in only a couple months. Amazingly fun job because I get to drive for hours and hours a day and I get tips for driving faster. I'd say it's one of the best jobs for a driving enthusiat.

Who are you a tester for? Testing anything interesting right now?

I do Acquisitions & Credit Analysis for a REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust). We buy car dealership properties and then lease the real estate back to the dealerships. I get to look at car dealer financials all day and sort of immerse myself in the industry, fly out and visit dealers, etc... It's a pretty cool job.

I'm also in the process of trying to become a used car wholesaler/broker myself, trying to get a license, pinning down good auctions, et cetera. We'll see how that pans out.

This should've been thrown up in GenChat. I wanna hear how Jesda's book biz is going, but he probably doesn't frequent the 240 forum.

My 9-5 is actually a 3:30pm-midnight. I run the desk at a hospital radiology department, answering phones, collating physician's orders, handling outpatients, etc. Basically, the folks at the desk are responsible for gettingsomeone to bring the patient to the department, getting someone to take the ordered exam, getting a radiologist to interpret the images, and then getting the results back to the doctor who ordered them. I don't actually DO any clinical work anymore... I just delegate.

In a year, I'll be finished with student teaching, so I'll have my B.A. in English and a preliminary credential to teach in California.

Goober... How the hell do you get a job like that? How can I get a job like that is the better question?

I am a mortgage banker. I help people buy and refinance homes.

Living on commision is either fantastic or sucks balls... right now I am in the sucks balls catagory. Hopefully that will change, or I might start delivering pizzas too!
