Interesting. Didn't know that the International Baccalaureate program existed in the US. I went to high school in Bangkok and opted out of the IB diploma because of the thesis! Haha

Well I should've rephrased. I'm sure it existed but just didn't know how widespread it was.

I dont want to sound smug, but I downgraded into a TL to dump some debt. I really like the car though, don't get me wrong. Previous car was a 2007 S2000 and a 99 Civic Si(modded). Now I'm down to just the TL which I bought yesterday.

23 work in retail end of powersports industry sales currently for experience to apply as a factory/manufacturer/distributor rep in about a year or so. I don't really make much but worked hard long hours in hs and college. I paid cash for school and all expenses and paid cash in full for my 04. Be smart with your money.

I also owned 2 cbr600 F4i's as well (just sold one). And I guess I should mention that I moved back in with the rents after college to avoid renting while I search for a house which I hope to own before spring 09.

25, I'm in IT as a programmer analyst for a retail company. 65k or so. I just bought an 08 ASM TL-S 3 weeks ago. Downed 14k and got 2.9%. Ends up being $350 per month and $117 on insurance. Loving it so far~

No kids, single.

what is your occupation/how do you afford the 3G TL? MERGED THREADS

What do all you guys & girls do for a living? Post up pics of where you work if it's something cool, etc...

This was a topic at another forum I frequent & it's pretty cool to find out what people do and that you might do the same thing as some other people

this will probably be moved into Ramblings, but here's a shot of my office:


I work in IT for a uni, supporting their Mac and Windows machines (which is why i have a lot of screens...a macbook pro 15" acting as a DeployStudio server is off screen above the dual black displays).

18. Student. I have a business where I sell LEDS/HIDS/install HIDS, I also work for a pharmacy parttime. Money is okay. I pay for both my cars+gas. Money that is left is used for school or saved.
