Default What Do You Do For A Living?

Porsches are not cheap cars to buy/own (for the most part at least). Would love to know what folks do/have done work-wise to get the car(s) of their dreams. Climb the corporate ladder? Entrepreneur? Lucky investment? Trust fund? Let's here it!

Me personally, it's taking what I've earned in the corporate world and investing in the stock market for more outsized gains over the years.

I'm a sales engineer for a technology reseller. I design datacenter solutions for enterprise customers. Just a 30-something W2 employee who makes bad financial decisions 🤣

it's companies/jobs like this that always intrigue me. Wish more folks out there would realize you dont need to be a banker/lawyer/doctor/vc to make it possible
