hello to all you saleen owners. wanted to know your guys profession. i am going to start school and be studying Auto CAD. anyways wanted to know what you guys do for a living because i really want to purchase a new saleen in the future..hope this makes sense...lol

Assistant Medical Director (Pharmaceutical Industry)....Pharmacist by training [sm=drlove.gif]

I am a Design Engineer. I went to Purdue University and studied in Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Technology. I basically am doing what you would be but just in Pro/Engineer instead of AutoCAD. My advice to you is to learn as many 3-D programs as you can because you will be more open in the future. And if you can learn Pro/E because people are paying huge sums of money for people that are trained in Pro/E.

Well, I'm not a "guy" so maybe it doesn't count, but just in case: Animal Hospital Manager

It will be interesting to learn what everyone does -- thanks for asking the question! -- but in terms of the ability to afford a Saleen Mustang, what we do doesn't really matter. Find what you enjoy doing and do it well! No materialpossessions can compensate enoughif you're working in a field or with peopleyou don't enjoy. I left a six-figure career (no Saleen then) for one that pays 1/3 of what I used to make (Saleen now)and I've never regretted it. Reserve the right to change your mind if you find yourself doing something that drags you down... Life offers infinite second chances.

Regarding the ability to buy a Saleen, if you make it a priority and you put together a realistic (and honest) plan to get you there, the universe will ensure that it happens for you. That's what the universe does best!

~~ End Sermon ~~ :D

Well, you don't have to be rich, but since when has that ever hurt anyone that wants a nice car :)

I am a service technician and just manage my money well (835 credit score baby :D) and unless you are after an "E", it is not that much more than your average nice car. Hit up that eBay add on another post, and will have a sweet and very fast ride for $40,000*

*Dealer tax, license and DOC extra. Gas guzzler tax does not apply and your frickin' insurance rates are gonna go thru the darn roof if you buy this car. However, you will undoubtedly get lots of attention from hot chicks and or guys and ego will be abundant. You will also be piped by every Tom, Dick and Harry driving a souped up Honda Civic. If you are lucky you will recieve a free and unsolicited booby shot from earlier mentioned hot babe. If you recieve a booby shot from a guy, say hello, as The Jazzer is always friendly.

Jazzer....keeping it real as always :D!

I work for Saleen... so I'm kind of a cheater on that front...

I used to be a regular engineer (worked for a large company in a cubicle designing stuff for other people to make lots of money). I now ownmy own companies. They are internet based (hence "dotbomb").

I agree though that no matter what just set a goal, be wise financially, and you should be able to reach that goal.

Sermon or no sermon - well said Amy :D

I went to Indiana University's (Purdue's arche rival [8D]) Kelly School of Business and majored in Marketing. I'm a Regional Sales/Account Manager for an independent manufacturer's rep firm. Thats the long way of saying I'm a commissioned "BullSh!ter" :D

You don't need to concern yourself with what we do, or set lofty goals to own a Saleen. Just save some money along the way so when the time comes you have a down payment and aren't having to finance the whole damn thing.........now, why didn't I practice that myself [sm=headbang.gif]

thanks guys and girls..i know what i want to do just was wondering what everyone else did..ill look into Pro/E never heard of it..thanks.

BTW - you already have a 2006 GT and you haven't even started school so you must be doing something right ;)

I'm waiting for someone to chime in with......Fred Garvin....male prostitute :D

As the name implies, I'm a physician.

Somewhere someone's reading that their doctor knows all the South Park references and posts wookies playing baseball..

:D

Well, Im a systems engineer and work at a National Lab. Don't tell anyone what I do because everything thinks I'm a construction worker ( I wonder why).I have a strong background in computing. No I have not lost any disksbut I know some people that have. :-)

The key to my money success is never having children and never going into debt. 900 CS baby!

Enjoy and good luck.

This way of thinking is why I fell for Amy sooo long ago.

Jaz

FBO Regional Director (aviation stuff) full time, and a Blues drummah on some weekends (when I can fill in).

manufacturing systems engineer. I did a year of Catia even though I don't use it now. Autocad is for more low endof the CAD world spectrum mostly for 2d engineering like drafting.They're better with 3d than they use to be but there's much more powerful systems out there. The big money ones ones have machining aspects to them.

I second that comment on learning Pro-E... I have been using it all the time since I graduated from Texas A&M in mechanical engineering back in '99. Product Design Engineering is a fun gig, but as said before...work with your passion. It is called "work" for a reason...it is not called "fun", but if you work in a cool enviornment with fun people, then work can be a lot of fun.

Endodontist ( a dentist that specializes in root canals, in case you were wondering) :D

Saleen Employee, and proud of it :D

Unless they are in severe pain then I am the savior :)

One thing is for sure, I never have to sell my services. You either need it or you dont!

Banker, retail flavour- mortgages and investments mainly (as well as that cryptic last line of my job description- 'any other duties as assigned by your branch manager'- no that doesn't mean chicka-chicka-pow-pow type of other duties).

Another Medical Doctor here, mainly working with clinical research (osteoarthritis and other musculoskeletal disorders).

Clinical pharmaceutical trials or academia?

Physician;) working in Puerto Rico and currently trying to move to the states, Chuckdoc if you are reading this and maybe help, will appreciate it;);)

Corporate litigation attorney for one of Wall Street's oldestlaw firms. Basically, I help Fortune 500 companies negotiate and resolve disputes, take lawsuits to trial, etc.

More importantly, I've been driving Mustangs for 17 straight years, which is why I finally treated myself to a Saleen that I'll likely keep for at least another 10 years.

I have an English degree. My first career wasPR Directorfor a community college, but now I own a quilt shop and sell high-end sewing machines. I guess I'm not your stereotypical quilter.

If I didn't have to work, I wouldn't. But since I like nice cars, I have decided to make work as much fun as possible!

Retired (34 years)Logistics Manager for the Postal Service, now full time President of the Saleen Club of America.

Work hard, enjoy your life -have some FUN, make new FRIENDSHIPS, get a SALEEN.
