What do F30 owners do for a living? - BMW 3-Series Forum (F30 / F32)

omarliendo · 06-12-2012, 10:35 PM

I am just curious to know what is it that other F30 drivers do for a living?

I am 27 and I am an Engineer for a Data Storage Company.

So... what do you do?

I believe the sample is skewed. Shouldn't the question be:
"What do F30 owners who spend time on forums do for a living?" :P

Well let me clear this up before people really start to think that I am retired

Some of you may know a bit of the story but here it is anyways.. When I arrived in the US in 2008 (my wife is from Hawaii), I wasn't allowed to work right away (some immigration related law) and by the time that I was allowed to work, my wife got pregnant. Since our income (her part-time job and the rental incomes from one of her homes here in Hawaii) was more than adequate for us to live from, we (she) decided that it would be better for our daughter that I wouldn't start working right away (also, because I would work independently, my income wouldn't be too secure in the beginning anyways).

Once my daughter goes to school (within 2 years), I will start again with my plans for my independent IT crap.. I tried to do it a few times while watching my daughter but it's just too much hassle to try to work (read: concentrate) and watch a small kid at the same time.

So yeah, it kind of feels like I am retired right now, but it's not supposed to stay like this

The question should be:

"What do F30 owners supposed to be doing for a living instead of spending time on BimmerPost?"

I did all that at age 32, so you're a little bit behind, but it's still not bad I imagine

So... what do you do?

I guess the thread excludes prospective/future owners.. In that case, I'll need a couple of months to reply

AggieTexan · 06-13-2012, 06:14 AM

I'm 52, and I retired last week!

I was an elementary school principal. Wow! It sounds strange to say "was."
