Well, some very rich hotel heiress thinks Wal*Mart is a store specializing in walls and wall coverings! Don't get me started!

It’s funny, the other night I was out and some girl asked me what I do. I told her I am a lobbyist and she said “oh cool, I used to work at a hotel too but only at the front desk.” Sadly she was a current college student, who I am pretty sure has not yet taken Government 101.

Re: occupations?
Was in the Marine Corps for 5 years as a ALSS technician (aviation Life support systems) and took a B billet as close combat instructor. Now while in school to either go with Mercedes ELITE or BMW STEP I am an instructor of Tae Kwon Do to pay the bills, along with GI BIll help. Kinda nice getting money for free and tax free at that.

Re: occupations?
I don't even know if I have a 'title' for my job. My parents own the distribution rights for Boar's Head Provisions (i.e Deli meats) in our area.
I do pretty much everything my father doesn't do, day-to-day I drive a straight box truck, make/deliver Publix Supermarket orders, service my "mom/pop" restaurants, markets, and gas stations.

Re: occupations?
I would consider your question regarding the occupation demographic may be to determine the class of people who own (can afford) the Crossfire.
I don't think this purchase has anything to do with class, or occupation. I think it has more to do with a uniq1ue car that provides exhilaration and the thrill to drive.
For some it's the modifiability to achieve the shortest zero to 60 mph. For a car buff it might add to a collection of eclectic cars. For me it might be how many G's i can pull screaming around a hwy corner. This car will appeal to a wide range of ages, occupations, and bankrolls.
The colour of car one prefers, auto vs. stick, convertible vs. coupe etc. can explain a great deal about the owners personality.
I just purchased a used 2005 silvery/blue Roadster Limited with Navigation... Its automatic. I prefer a stick but looked at resale in my decision. I prefer a RED car but got a great deal on this one.
As far as occupation, I just left a medical sales job after 10 years and I am awaiting severance pay. So technically I'm unemployed. That's a first in 25 years.
Cheers!

Project Manager / Detailer for the nation's largest Door/Frame/Hardware Distribution Company, which is owned by the same lady who owns McDonnell Douglas (Copters).
Any of you who are familiar with Architectural Specifications will know that Division 8 refers to Openings - that's the stuff we do.
Anyone who has ever been in the field will know that you basically have to know as much or more than an M.D. due to the various Governmental Fire codes, Handicap codes, Windstorm codes, Egress codes, ANSI codes, etc. They say there are more brain surgeons in the U.S. than there are AHCs (Architectural Hardware Consultant). Unfortunately, we don't get paid NEARLY as much as the brain surgeons.
My Wife is a Nurse, Assistant Director of Nursing at a rehab facility. She makes the money, I spend it! lol.
She has applied and is awaiting acceptance for a Physician Assistant program, we should know something by mid January.
It is 'her' car...but I am the only one who posts about it, and mods it.
