Engineer + bidness owner here too. Only other ways for an engineer to afford a 991 GT3 are being a senior exec in a large firm or saving up for a long time. Fortunately, used Porsches are affordable for other engineers with more typical incomes. Agreed that Porsches inherently appeal to engineers.

Nice to see more architect/firm owners here. No way in hell would I drive an RS to work however.

I've got to say, for me, it is one fun profession.

Good choice on your current location and great school. Me BAC, had some good mentors helped make a small biz a success and doing some development and other investment activities allows some nice toys and hobbies.

engineers cannot do architecture. you got to be kidding.
things that stand up are often ugly.
archtects are dreamers. look at me.
nothing i designed stood up.
