i wonder that about a lot of people who fix up their cars. fixing up cars is not a cheap ... so, what jobs do you have that make it possible for you to afford all these mods for your car?

im living off of student loans, financial aid, and tips as a waitress.

I'm an admin assistant at a tropical nursery (selling palm trees and ish). I know, really random. I also used to be a full time student but I haven't been in school for the past few terms because racing is like crack... Sadly, I can't afford to go to school AND race and I've been having a hard time using the car soley as a daily driver. I know I need to finish my degree (I'm at the end of my 2nd year as a Mgt/HR major) so I can make more money and get this little civic scootin' but again, school isn't cheap either. :bh

Global IT manager for a major semiconductor company. I oversee hardware/software support for about 500 semiconductor testers worldwide as well as VPNs, Datacenters, and many other headaches. I have my MSCS, BSEE, and MBA :) Living anywhere else in the US or world making my salary I'd live like a king, but here in the good ol silicon valley I can barely survive. Mortgage on a $900K house hurts a bit(and thats only an ok house, you should see what nice houses are going for here).

my job

I'm a full-time software tester and I'm also a freelance graphic designer. I was a designer for 6 years, but it just didn't pay enough. I just changed positions and started working in the IT department at the company I already worked for. I like it and I make a little bit more money now. :w00t
