What does everyone do??

Just curious, but what does everyone do for a living to afford these wonderful cars and the wonderful toys we put on them? I'll start since it's my question I guess. I work for my father's steel fabrication company as a project manager. It's not the most exciting job, but it's allowed me the opportunity to buy my car and mod it. I'm interested to hear what some of the rest of you do so please post up.

3rd Class Power Engineer with Imperial Oil. I operate a heavy crude oil plant in Alberta. Good work, good pay and lots of challenges. And it also allows me to have my toys. Best part is I can still afford gas to drive them.

I sell new & used Fords at Yocum Ford, in Lansdale PA (as it says in my sig below). Been doing it since I was 20 years old (I'm 31 now and been at the same store). Love my job, as you get to meet great people. Plus having a new Mustang gives me the edge over other local dealers and their sales people who, quite frankly, don't know what the heck they are talking about when it comes to selling Mustangs and the aftermarket parts that are available.

Just work three part time jobs and trade stocks weekly on the computer. Lots of side jobs; painting, mowing, general labor,etc. ****ty jobs, ****ty pay. But a lot of hours and a lot of saving. My car's the only good thing I have. Sometimes it's a little depressing when I look at the car and realise I shouldn't have her. Kinda hurts too when the insurance bill comes in.
