What does everyone do for work?

Boeing driver for a major airline.

I work in the regulatory department for an insurance company, not very fun in my opinion, but being able to remote work for the past 2 years is nice.

To be fair buying an M3 isn't a good financial decision for anybody

But man respect to be able to make it happen at such a young age. I'm about to turn 37 in a week but the M3's been a bucket list car for me ever since I was in my early 20s, so it's been a looooong road.

Although I've been waiting 9 months so far for this car... if you think about it I've been waiting over 15 years for it.

That's still so hype man! Seriously congrats to legit anyone getting this car it really is an amazing machine that ik for many of us means more then just getting a car but a prideful sense of accomplishment! My biggest battle now is car parts or ring for the gf. I already know the answer I'm going to get since I'm asking in a forum called BIMMERPOST 😂

Haha… I sold my 2011 E92 to buy my wife's engagement ring…granted we were moving to NYC for work at the time so didn't need the car either lol.

I am a tax attorney.

2 things I wished I'd gotten into, airline pilot, especially how bad they need them, today. Second, software engineer, but I'm a few years from 50, and I'm too old for either of them.

Get car parts. 22 is way too young to get engaged regardless of how long you’ve been together. Take the advice of people that’ve been there. You may end up marrying this girl and she probably will be your wife forever, but you’ve got a ton of time. Be 22. Buy a house (you’ve never too young for that, wish I’d done it sooner) but you definitely can wait to get married.

Business owner (something that would’ve never happened if I got married at 22).

I feel the same way. I'm 27 living over the Altamont where housing is cheaper than the bay area and I still feel like I can't just drop everything and go back to school to change careers.

You might be surprised at how far attitude and drive can get you. Not to mention the wealth of life experience that lends itself well to the soft skills needed to work with cross functional teams comprised of dysfunctional personalities.
