I do what StephenK and Lovin do 13 weeks a year, the rest of the time I play at Radiology and Nuclear Medicine.

If you want an insight into what people on these forums do for a living see the same thread in the S-class (W220) section. The demographics there are probably very similar.

The banality of the work people here do to afford these cars is both revealing and humorous.
