You are more than welcome to change careers....all you have to do is sacrifice at LEAST 8 years of your life in school, then another 4+ in training for about $35K/year; probably get into 6 figure debt; work about 100+ hour work weeks for the last 4 years; enjoy being **** on, pissed on, and farted on; enjoy a career with one of the highest substance abuse and suicide rates in the country; then enjoy having a target on your back for the masses.

So yea, id say a banker has more value(not to mention intelligence) than a physician. Never a dull moment though. That might be an advantage over a banker in that banking IMHO sounds boring. One of my old college buddies is a commerical banker and he isnt an exciting guy.

CLS55 if you want a daily driver.
Love my CLS55. I have a 996TT cab and I even drive that less after I got the CLS, so 997S becomes not even a consideration. Obviously a 997 S is a real sports car if that's what you are after. The CLS55 is a luxury coupe with four doors and lots of amenities. It also habdles very well, rides nicely, and has a beautiful interior as well as exterior. The fact that it accelerates like my 996TT (modified) between 30 to 60 and between 60 to 100 is a bonus. Definitely out-accelerates a 997S even without any mods. With mods it will be faster than a 996TT. I love the car.

I hope that tone was tongue in cheak in ur 2nd paragraph, otherwise FU. Also, intelligence is not a measure of how hard you studied or how much "crap" you put up with.. I wasn't knocking the position, but I figured they made a couple hundred, pardon my ignorance. I was surprised, not belittling To me that isnt enough to afford a 250K car. Of course, dentists are making half a mil these days so anything is possible in health care. When I meet people with Murcis, they are making probably a million+/- and have several other cars like it or of similar value, so I assume thats what they make
"Banking" is a very loose term - I run a small mortgage bank and its far from boring. If you are stuck in a pigeon hole at a large corporation, yea, boring. Its more like a 3 ring circus. Which has pros and cons. You went way off topic.. as much as I don't really care for a lot of people I work with, you still overreached with your comments. If you're telling me that I'm boring, I can show you pics from last night with me and 3 other girls piled in a stateroom of a yacht.
Relax, have a drink!

I think maybe you should reread my post after having a drink yourself. And try to not miss the emoticons. I was poking at my own career. I know one banker and you think im generalizing about every single one? Maybe have 2 drinks.

Did i mention to take note of the little smiley faces after the 2 paragraphs? Have a third drink for me.
Maybe banking is alot more stressful than i thought cuz of the way YOU reacted. Oh...and congrats on knowing some girls and having a yacht.

edit....BTW, i like the Noble in your sig.
I just reread my post, and i fail to see where you were offended. It is mostly bashing the medical profession, so i fail to see why or where you were offended and what caused you to go on a rant. I tried to put the smiley emoticons all over the place, but i guess it didnt work.

My girls, but it was my old man's yacth. Sorry, I must have missinterpreted your delivery.. tough through a keyboard
Maybe I had a case of the Mondays.. (effectively).
The noble is sweet, however, looking at a GTM by Factory 5 Racing for less money and simpler design.
Cheers

At least in the 2$'s man, at least.
But then again, he's in the administrative end as well![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
OT though, get the CLS55, you won't be disappointed. Trust me.
