Default What do you do for a career?

What do you do for a career to be able to purchase c7zr1 new?

I have a pretty good job but no way could I buy one of these new.. looking for some insight into what you guys do, may even be motivational to younger forum members.

Share whatever information you are comfortable with sharing.

Thanks

I am a dentist. Graduated 3 years ago. Went from earning no money while in school and an under 600 credit score after graduating to having a very comfortable six-figure income and a 807 credit score.

It definitely took a lot of time and sacrifice to get here. A lot of people I knew criticized me for going through 8 years of schooling after high school but it all definitely paid off. Not too shabby to be able to buy a 150k+ car at 31 years old.

Started software company 20 years ago. Worked my #$%off Now 71 years young on third vette.
it's a matter of priorities and some dumb luck. Set a goal and make it happen.

Appreciate it, thanks. I got to 2d Battalion in 2006, then was in a Stryker Brigade. After I got hurt, I wanted to do something about it. Thus, PT! I graduate in May after 7 1/2 years of school. Ugh. Missus even got me a Wedding ring of carbon fiber and blue chips to match the car. HAHA

What do you do for a career?
It
appears I wait for cars to be built, it's what happens when you are old.
