How did you afford to buy a Viper?

[quickysrt]

if he is good looking he can work for me....he will have the money in no time

 

[patgilm]

What, as a man *****? I'm sure that is what he wants his son to do.

Why hasn't the guy who worked as a ********** to buy his Viper jumped in here?

 

[patgilm]

He did, it was the one I responded to above.

Since this thread is popular I was curious where the stats actually stood at this point. There are 84 posts not counting the original post that have obvious "Yes I have a degree" or "No I don't have a degree". There are 2 or 3 that are a bit vague so I'm not counting them.

Current standings are:

30 no degree 36%
54 degree 64%

I have no idea what made me want to do this but I figure the least I could do is share

I've worked all my life since old enough...for nice cars. I've never owned a car in my life with more than 2 functional seats...and soon to own a Viper.

I've washed dishes, bussed tables, waited tables, bartended, been head chef in my own restaurant....retail clothing sales, shoe sales, medical research asst. Was on the alternates list for Med. School twice, just missed admissions...now, I'm a contract computer consultant working on DoD projects...specializing in Oracle DBA work.

Frankly, I STILL don't know what I want to be when I grow up...but, I do want to have fun getting there in a speedy car!!

Thanks for sharing the stats. I was going to try and do that, but you did it for me! My husband only had two jobs...pipeline company for 11 years, oil company for 25 years, no degree, just hard work and "good employee" who saved his money. I have a Master's...starting work on a Doctorate. Degree/no degree matters less than good money management skills. And those are LEARNED skills, by the way.

MightyP --

Hey Greg, you forgot to share -- do you have a degree?

 

[MightyP]

Bruce,

I posted my story a bit earlier in the thread, no college for me. At about 15 I got bored and started working. Got into tech at 18 and clawed my way up from tech support to CTO for a $25 million a year software company

No degree but plenty of hard work.
