Rheumatologist , work 60 hrs a week
Thanks to EMR !!!!! " electronic medical records" , it seems every year I spend more and more time in front of a computer screen
The toughest part of my job is mental rather than physical
so RL comes handy at stress reduction and provide mental breaks .... though must admit the value/flipper threads are getting redundant
so guys, please be gentle, I need to work for another 12 years

Software engineer (ironically, working to replace driving). You have a lot of time to look at the internet while you wait for code to compile

Equine surgeon for 37 years work 60 hrs per week for 6 months then 40 hrs for six months with time off to play with Cars. No inheritance speak of . Try to get about 6 to 8 track weekends in per year. We have a group that goes together and have a lot of fun. First Porsche was a $200 356 with no engine.
It's been a long road to the GT three
But lots of fun

My business is in engineering, but I still consider it old economy (service firm with somewhat lean profit margins on billable hours). Hence not getting my first Porsche until my mid 40s, despite being in this business for three decades. But I can't complain, I don't forget that I'm better off than most, including colleagues who're employees rather than business owners.

Own my own business. Get up at 4:30 every morning. Rennlist gets me through my morning coffee and breakfast smoothie, and a beer before dinner in the evening. Love my daily Rennlist fix! Weekends are for driving, back roads, AutoX and track days. Porsche's are very therapeutic!

Delivered pizza, age 16-17, started my first company at 18. Struggled being a small broke young business owner throughout my 20's. Late 20's and 30's finally figured out how to make money. Now at 40, own and operated several companies. Work from home, so I have plenty of time to keep up on the latest ADM's, PTS colors and WP threads. No inherited money here, its all been a fight.

Retired Citrus Grower, sold the groves and 1031 exchanged into commercial property. Loved the Citrus business but could see the handwringing on the wall with no future. With the electrician, HVAC tech, plumber, and handyman on speed dial I don't have anything to do but be a troll and play with cars.
