That's seems to be true of all engineering jobs. Having an engineering degree is not all its cracked up to be. Pay is ok but is the stress worth it?

Best wishes on your dental school application! I've been teaching dental students for the past 40 years - just received my "gold" watch plus some change. I was hoping maybe for an M3, haha! Bought my first bimmer when just out of dental school, a slightly used 1977 320i, happy memories. Have been a Bimmerphil ever since then.

Should have gotten your advice when I was buying bass traps and panels for my living room! Crazy, spent a ton of $$$ on adding more VMPS speakers and the room sounded worse at first.

Thank you very much! And enjoy your GC. It really is a smooth machine! I assume you teach at Loma Linda based on where you are in CA?

Retired cybersecurity engineer - specialized in Identity Management. In the IT field for 44 years; been retired for 1 year now.

joz · 06-03-2016, 10:34 AM

Mech engineer in the renewables sector.

Funny how the f30 section is predominantly composed of technical/engineering backgrounds (so far at least). Wonder if that is due to our natural tendency to geek out on forums or just the salary range that allows an f30. Would be interesting to know how the member background changes as you move to the f80 or other forum sections....uh oh I've done it again...#nerdout

Yup, great school - message me if you have any application questions. Which schools are you applying to? GC is my wife's daily driver but I get to enjoy it on the weekends.

My dd is a 2003 325i and glad to say still doing well, just some creaking like my joints!

Big Nodge · 06-03-2016, 10:55 AM

^that (high tech/engineering share) tends to be true on most car forums that I've been on. I'm noticing more doctors on the Bimmer forums vs the Audi scene.

I'm a buyside analyst.

_bdiddyb_ · 06-03-2016, 10:56 AM

I'm an IT system engineer for a large hospital here in California. Basically I set up disaster recovery for their computer systems. Stressful job, but pays the billz. I've always wanted to be a famous DJ, and make the big bucks like the top 5%. Still practicing... I play for booze, at friends and families.

Pauleebe · 06-03-2016, 11:16 AM

Senior Tax CPA!

Boring AF to 99% of the population, but I enjoy it and I think it pays well for being 25.

raqautle · 06-03-2016, 11:42 AM

Spoiled college student that has a dad working for BMW so the lease payments are reasonable

I also work at BMW as a genius/delivery specialist (but the one that actually knows stuff) and my main job is a CVS pharmacy technician cause I start pharmacy school in the fall
