What do you do for a living?

I see a lot of REALLY nice watches here, and also a lot of REALLY nice cars and often wonder how people can afford so much luxury. So I thought it would be fun to hear what people do for a living.

I myself own a little design company. It's just me, so nothing fancy.
I do graphic design, product design, web design, packaging design and photo retouching/manipulations for US and European clients.

What do you do for a living?

But I'll contribute here. I work in IT. Bought my sub many years ago when I was I was younger, single and only had rent, utilities and food to pay for with a good paying IT job with well earned bonuses.
